Bayometric, a pioneer in biometric authentication and security technologies, has announced that its Live Scan Software has officially received FBI Appendix F Certification, marking a new milestone in the company’s mission to provide reliable and regulation-compliant biometric solutions for both public and private sector use.

This achievement validates Bayometric’s commitment to image quality, device interoperability, and secure fingerprint data transmission—key components required for federal and law enforcement use in the United States.

A New Level of Certified Compliance

The FBI Appendix F standard is widely recognized as one of the most stringent biometric image quality requirements. It ensures that fingerprint images captured by live scan systems meet the technical specifications necessary for compatibility with the FBI’s Next Generation Identification (NGI) database.

Bayometric’s software underwent rigorous evaluation using several leading ten-print fingerprint scanners—including the Suprema RealScan G10, Integrated Biometrics Kojak, and Thales DactyScan 84c—demonstrating flawless interoperability and high-quality image capture in diverse use environments.

Optimized for Security and Efficiency

Bayometric’s certified software is designed with performance and usability at its core. The platform streamlines the process of capturing and submitting fingerprint images for background checks, identity verification, and criminal justice purposes.

Key features include:

• High-resolution 500ppi image capture in line with Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification (EBTS) requirements
• Support for flat, rolled, and thumbprint capture
• Full Personal Identity Verification (PIV) alignment for federal applications
• Seamless integration with a wide range of FBI-certified biometric devices
• Secure end-to-end encryption during Electronic Fingerprint Transmission (EFT)

These capabilities help eliminate human error, reduce processing time, and ensure the safe handling of sensitive biometric data.

Mobile-Ready Fingerprint Capture

As identity verification increasingly moves beyond the confines of traditional offices, Bayometric’s Live Scan Software meets the growing demand for field-ready solutions. The system is fully compatible with portable scanning hardware, enabling agents in law enforcement, border control, or private security to perform compliant fingerprinting on location.

Whether used for in-field arrests, disaster response, or mobile employee vetting, Bayometric provides the flexibility and compliance required in high-pressure environments.

Serving Critical Sectors

From government contractors to background check firms and security integrators, Bayometric’s FBI-certified Live Scan Software offers a trusted solution for organizations that need to meet federal biometric submission standards.

By aligning with Appendix F, Bayometric enables:

• Law enforcement agencies to improve the accuracy of criminal records
• Security firms to streamline onboarding processes
• Identity service providers to reduce compliance risks
• Government agencies to enhance data integrity in public programs
