Bayometric, a global leader in biometric identity and fingerprinting technologies, proudly announces that its advanced Live Scan Software has received FBI Appendix F Certification—an essential credential validating its use in secure federal, state, and law enforcement biometric operations.
This certification is a significant milestone, confirming that Bayometric’s software meets the FBI’s highest standards for fingerprint image quality, interoperability, and system performance under the Next Generation Identification (NGI) program. The software was certified after successful testing with top-tier fingerprint scanners such as the Suprema RealScan G10, Integrated Biometrics Kojak, and Thales DactyScan 84c.
A New Standard in Fingerprint Image Quality
The FBI’s Appendix F Certification ensures that fingerprint images collected meet critical specifications for resolution, clarity, and reliability. Systems with this certification are proven to support accurate minutiae extraction, which is vital for effective identification and verification. With Bayometric’s certified solution, users can confidently generate Electronic Fingerprint Transmission (EFT) files that are fully compliant with federal submission protocols.
Bayometric’s software supports:
- 500ppi Image Capture conforming to EBTS guidelines.
- Personal Identity Verification (PIV) for federal employment programs.
- Hardware Interoperability across certified ten-print and mobile fingerprint scanners.
This level of compliance enables real-time, error-free communication with FBI systems—ensuring law enforcement agencies and authorized vendors operate with full regulatory alignment.
Secure, Automated, and Scalable
In addition to meeting technical standards, Bayometric’s Live Scan Software streamlines the fingerprinting process through automation. It generates and transmits EFT files electronically, reducing paperwork, eliminating manual entry errors, and significantly cutting processing time.
Security is a top priority. The platform uses end-to-end encryption to protect sensitive personal information during transmission, making it ideal for criminal background checks, security clearances, licensing, and immigration applications.
Field-Ready Biometric Capture
Bayometric’s solution is built for diverse use cases. From office-based stations to mobile units in the field, its software accommodates all major fingerprinting requirements:
- Full roll and flat scans.
- Single thumb captures.
- Mobile ID compatibility for remote data collection.
This flexibility is critical for agencies that conduct fingerprinting outside of traditional office settings—such as during field investigations, border operations, or remote hiring processes.
