Enhanced Identity Verification
Verified-KYC LiveScan™ — The Only Livescan Service Closing Florida’s Identity-Fraud Gap
Human-Verified | Biometric-Confirmed | Exclusive to Florida Document Specialists
AI can fake a face, a voice, or even a live video feed — but it can’t bypass a trained professional examining a real ID in person, reinforced with biometric authentication.
The weakness in the system is well documented. A newly appointed Director of Education in Iowa was exposed for using a false identity. In Florida, multiple individuals were caught working in hospitals under borrowed names and licenses — after passing standard background checks that relied on rushed, superficial ID checks.
While the industry continues relying on the “looks good to me” method, we recognized the flaw and built the solution.
Florida Document Specialists is the only Livescan provider in the region that incorporates biometric KYC identity authentication into every appointment.
We don’t just capture fingerprints — we verify the person behind them.
Why This Matters
Verified-KYC LiveScan™ ensures that every fingerprint submission begins with authenticated identity — eliminating the rushed ID checks that have already allowed individuals in Florida to secure employment under someone else’s name.
Understanding the Problem
Why Traditional Background Checks Aren’t Enough
A background check confirms a person’s history — but not their identity. It tells you what someone did, but not whether the individual standing in front of you is the real person connected to that record. If you need details on the full screening process, you can review our FDLE Level 2 & FBI fingerprinting process.
That gap is where real-world fraud has already occurred. A newly appointed Director of Education in Iowa was exposed as using a false identity. And here in Florida, several individuals were caught working in hospitals under a friend’s name and license — after passing standard background checks because the ID was never properly verified at intake.
As AI-generated images, credential forgeries, and synthetic identities become easier to create, the risk to employers and licensing agencies increases. Rushed “glance-and-go” ID checks — still used by most Livescan providers — cannot keep up with modern fraud techniques.
The Verified-KYC Livescan™ Solution
Florida Document Specialists is the only Livescan service in the region that incorporates biometric KYC identity authentication into every appointment. This means the applicant’s government-issued ID is digitally analyzed, validated for authenticity, and matched to a live biometric scan before any fingerprinting begins.
Put simply: fingerprints only work if they’re tied to the right person. Verified-KYC Livescan™ helps ensure that they are.
Closing the Identity Gap
Verified-KYC Livescan™ fixes the weakest part of the background-check process — confirming who the applicant really is before fingerprints are ever captured.
What Employers and Regulators Are Warning About
Industry Insight:
“Applicant identity fraud is rising sharply as bad actors exploit weaknesses in remote onboarding, fake IDs, and AI-generated likenesses. Traditional background checks weren’t designed to detect this — modern hiring now demands active identity verification.”— The Rising Threat of Applicant Identity Fraud — First Advantage North America
Regulatory Perspective:
“Background screeners that rely only on name-matching are exposing consumers and employers to false identification. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, failing to ensure accurate identity matching can constitute a legal violation.”
Identity Verification Matters
Closing the Gap for Employers, Schools, and Healthcare Providers
Large corporations and major institutions invest heavily in advanced identity-verification systems — often spending thousands per hire on internal security tools. Smaller employers, private schools, clinics, and professional offices rarely have access to those protections, even though the risk is the same.
Most Livescan providers still rely on a quick visual ID check at the counter. That outdated approach has already led to Florida healthcare facilities unknowingly hiring individuals working under borrowed identities simply because the intake process failed to confirm who the applicant really was.
Verified-KYC Livescan™ closes that gap. Every appointment includes biometric identity authentication that confirms two things:
- The ID is real — digitally analyzed and validated for authenticity.
- The person is real — matched to the ID through a liveness-verified biometric scan.
This level of intake integrity has traditionally been available only to large enterprises with expensive infrastructure. Now it’s built directly into every Livescan appointment we perform — at no additional charge.
The result is a more trustworthy background-check process for employers of every size, with a documented identity-verification step that dramatically reduces hiring risk, licensing risk, and credentialing errors.
Why It Matters
Verified-KYC Livescan™ gives employers, schools, and healthcare providers an authentication layer that traditional Livescan locations do not provide — ensuring the person being fingerprinted is the right person before a background check is ever submitted.
Human + Biometric Verification
The Human–Biometric Solution in a Digital Fraud World
Automated identity checks are everywhere — but automation alone isn’t enough. AI can generate fake faces, fake IDs, and even fake “live” video feeds. What it can’t reliably defeat is a trained human verifying a real credential in person, backed by biometric authentication.
Verified-KYC Livescan™ blends three layers of confirmation:
- Human ID Inspection — A trained technician examines the physical ID for security features, texture, holograms, and fabrication inconsistencies.
- Digital Credential Analysis — The ID is scanned and analyzed using advanced document-validation technology.
- Biometric Facial Matching — A liveness-verified selfie ensures the applicant matches the ID’s photo and is a real person, not a mask, deepfake, or static image.
This layered approach overcomes the single greatest weakness in today’s background-check system — the superficial, rushed “does this look like you?” visual check used by most fingerprinting counters.
By combining human oversight with biometric verification, our intake process delivers a major security advantage for employers, agencies, and licensing programs that cannot afford identity fraud slipping through the cracks.
Three Layers. One Trusted Identity.
Verified-KYC Livescan™ delivers human inspection, digital analysis, and biometric authentication — ensuring the applicant is real, the credential is real, and the fingerprints belong to the correct individual.

Identity Verification Included in Every Appointment
We no longer treat identity verification as an optional upgrade or a standalone product. The risks are too high, and the consequences for employers and licensing agencies are too severe.
That’s why every Livescan appointment automatically includes full biometric KYC identity authentication at no additional cost.
This built-in verification ensures a stronger, more reliable background-check process by confirming two critical points before fingerprinting begins:
- The applicant’s ID is authentic — digitally analyzed and checked for signs of manipulation, duplication, or forgery.
- The applicant is the rightful holder of that ID — verified through a live biometric facial match that cannot be bypassed with a photo, screenshot, or AI-generated likeness.
For employers, this means a major reduction in the risk of onboarding individuals using borrowed or fraudulent identities — a problem already documented in Florida healthcare, education, and regulated industries.
For applicants, the process is seamless. For employers and agencies, it provides a level of trust and accuracy previously unavailable from any Livescan provider in the region.
Verification at No Extra Charge
Every appointment includes biometric KYC identity authentication as a standard part of the intake process — ensuring identity integrity before fingerprinting and strengthening the reliability of every background check we submit.
Why It Matters
Why This Level of Verification Matters
Every employer, school, clinic, or licensing agency has a different level of risk tolerance — but the threat of identity fraud is the same across all industries. A background check only works if it is attached to the correct person. When intake fails, the entire screening process fails with it.
Most fingerprinting counters rely on a quick glance at an ID. That’s how individuals in Florida healthcare were able to work under someone else’s name and license — they passed fingerprinting because no one verified who they actually were.
Verified-KYC Livescan™ mitigates that risk. By confirming both the authenticity of the credential and the identity of the individual presenting it, we provide a level of intake integrity that rivals enterprise-grade systems used by hospitals, financial institutions, and large corporations.
Whether the position is low-risk or high-risk, this additional layer of verification protects employers, supports compliance, and ensures the background check you receive is connected to the right person, every time.
Reducing Risk at the Only Step That Matters Most
When identity verification fails, the entire background check collapses. Verified-KYC Livescan™ ensures identity integrity from the start — protecting employers, licensure programs, and the people they serve.
What Makes Us Different
Why Verified-KYC Livescan™ Sets Us Apart
Most Livescan locations operate like retail counters — quick glance at an ID, quick scan of fingerprints, and the applicant is out the door. That system was built for speed, not accuracy. It’s the reason identity-fraud cases have slipped through in healthcare, education, and regulated industries right here in Florida.
Florida Document Specialists takes a different approach. As a family-owned, Florida-based business accredited by the Better Business Bureau, we combine human accountability with biometric technology to ensure every background check is tied to the correct individual.
Every verification follows a clear, repeatable, documented standard — never a rushed “looks good to me” guess. This level of precision is typically found only in enterprise identity systems used by large institutions. With Verified-KYC Livescan™, we bring that same standard to small businesses, clinics, schools, and licensing programs throughout Florida.
The result is simple: a background check you can trust because the identity behind it was verified correctly from the start.
Accuracy Comes Before Speed
Verified-KYC Livescan™ rejects the “fast counter service” model. By combining human inspection with biometric validation, we deliver identity-secure fingerprinting trusted by employers, schools, and healthcare providers statewide.
Real Scenarios, Real Risks
How Verified-KYC Livescan™ Stops Modern Identity Fraud
Identity fraud isn’t theoretical — it shows up in real workplaces and real credentialing systems. Verified-KYC Livescan™ helps eliminate the exact weaknesses that have allowed individuals to get hired or licensed under someone else’s identity.
Scenario A — The “Looks Good to Me” Problem
The risk:
A clerk or fingerprint operator glances at an ID and accepts it. A counterfeit, borrowed, or altered credential passes easily.
Our solution:
Verified-KYC Livescan™ digitally analyzes the ID, checks encoded data, inspects security features, and performs a biometric match to the live applicant.
A forged or borrowed ID cannot pass this process.
Scenario B — The Picture-of-a-Picture Trick
The risk:
An applicant shows a photo of someone else’s ID on their phone. A superficial visual check won’t detect it.
Our solution:
We require the physical ID card or passport. The system reads the machine-readable zone (MRZ), validates data integrity, and runs a liveness-verified facial match. A photo of a photo — or a screenshot — fails instantly.
Scenario C — Deepfakes and Synthetic Identities
The risk:
AI-generated faces, manipulated IDs, and synthetic identities can bypass remote identity verification and untrained human review.
Our solution:
Every verification is performed in person with both human oversight and biometric analysis.
Liveness checks prevent AI-generated likenesses. Facial matching ensures the applicant is a real, present human being — not a deepfake or pre-recorded image.
Closing the Fraud Loopholes
Verified-KYC Livescan™ is engineered to stop the three most common identity-fraud methods at the intake stage — ensuring the fingerprints submitted belong to the correct, verified individual every time.
Intake Integrity
A Stronger Background Check Starts at Intake
A fingerprint submission is only as reliable as the identity verification behind it. That’s why Verified-KYC Livescan™ is now included in every appointment — no upgrades, no add-ons, no hidden tiers.
Every applicant receives a complete verification process that confirms:
- The credential is authentic — digitally analyzed for security features, encoding integrity, and signs of alteration.
- The applicant is the rightful holder — verified through a liveness-based biometric facial match.
- The submitted fingerprints belong to the correct individual — ensuring the background check is linked to the real person.
The result is a Livescan experience that provides employers, agencies, and licensing programs with a more trustworthy screening process — one that closes the gaps that have already resulted in documented identity-fraud cases across Florida.
When you’re ready to schedule, our private, appointment-only intake process ensures accuracy, privacy, and professional handling from the moment the applicant walks in.
Verified-KYC Livescan™ is fingerprinting done right — the way it always should have been.
