Bayometric, a prominent developer of biometric identity solutions, has announced that its flagship Live Scan Software has received FBI Appendix F Certification, reinforcing the company’s leadership in secure and compliant biometric technology.
This certification ensures that Bayometric’s software meets the FBI’s strict performance and image quality criteria, which are required for agencies and organizations submitting fingerprints to federal databases. The recognition serves as a vital credential for identity service providers, law enforcement, and private sector users across the United States.
What FBI Appendix F Certification Means
The FBI’s Appendix F standard evaluates whether biometric capture systems produce fingerprint images that are accurate, clear, and usable for enrollment in the Next Generation Identification (NGI) system. Bayometric’s software was tested and validated using top-tier fingerprint scanners, including:
-
Suprema RealScan G10
-
Thales DactyScan 84c
-
Integrated Biometrics Kojak
Through these assessments, Bayometric demonstrated consistent image capture quality at 500 pixels per inch (ppi) and adherence to formatting standards defined by the Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification (EBTS). These capabilities are crucial for ensuring reliable matching, identification, and verification across federal and state systems.
In addition, the software supports PIV (Personal Identity Verification) compliance, enabling use in federal identity card issuance and government contractor onboarding.
Streamlined EFT File Generation with High Security
Bayometric’s certified Live Scan Software automates the generation and transmission of Electronic Fingerprint Transmission (EFT) files, reducing the potential for human error and boosting operational efficiency. The system supports secure, direct communication with FBI systems and applies end-to-end encryption to protect sensitive applicant or criminal background data.
This secure, streamlined approach makes it an ideal tool for organizations that handle large volumes of background checks, licensing verifications, or criminal identification tasks.
Adaptable for Field Use and Stationary Setups
The versatility of Bayometric’s solution sets it apart. In addition to standard desktop applications, the software is built to integrate with mobile fingerprint scanners, giving users the ability to capture and transmit FBI-compliant fingerprints from remote or non-traditional locations.
Supported capture types include:
-
Rolled and flat ten-print scans
-
Single or four-finger slap scans
-
Plain thumb impressions
This flexibility allows agencies to deploy biometric verification in the field with full confidence in compliance and image quality.
Bridging Public and Private Sector Needs
Bayometric’s FBI-certified software supports a broad range of industries beyond law enforcement. Background check agencies, healthcare institutions, financial service providers, and transportation companies can all benefit from the platform’s high-performance capture, encryption, and transmission capabilities.
As more sectors adopt biometric identity verification as a security standard, Bayometric’s solution delivers a future-ready framework that aligns with both regulatory and operational goals.
Trusted by Agencies Nationwide
Bayometric’s FBI Appendix F Certification reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation, data integrity, and public trust. As biometric systems become central to identity verification, criminal investigations, and workforce management, this certification reinforces Bayometric’s readiness to support mission-critical operations.
For agencies and organizations looking to elevate their fingerprinting capabilities while maintaining federal compliance, Bayometric now offers a fully certified, secure, and scalable live scan solution.
