Bayometric has once again proven its leadership in biometric identity verification by securing FBI Appendix F certification for its Live Scan software. This certification positions the company among a select group of providers whose digital fingerprinting solutions meet the FBI’s most stringent image quality and transmission standards.
Appendix F certification is administered by the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division and serves as a benchmark for evaluating fingerprint image compliance with the agency’s Next Generation Identification (NGI) system. For organizations relying on digital fingerprinting—whether for background checks, immigration, licensing, or law enforcement—this certification ensures their biometric data is captured and transmitted in a format recognized and trusted by federal databases.
Why This Certification Matters
The digital transformation of identity verification demands more than convenience—it requires precision, speed, and strict regulatory adherence. Without Appendix F-certified software, even minor lapses in fingerprint clarity or formatting can lead to rejections, delays, and security vulnerabilities.
Bayometric’s Live Scan software eliminates these concerns by delivering 500ppi high-resolution fingerprint images that meet or exceed every technical requirement outlined by the FBI. The system supports full 4-finger and thumb roll/flat scans and generates Electronic Fingerprint Transmission (EFT) files that can be securely submitted to law enforcement and regulatory bodies.
Built for Performance and Compliance
Bayometric’s Live Scan solution was tested and certified alongside some of the industry’s most advanced hardware platforms, including the Suprema RealScan G10, Integrated Biometrics Kojak, and Thales DactyScan 84c. The software’s ability to integrate seamlessly with these FBI-certified scanners ensures a high level of hardware compatibility across operational environments.
This compatibility makes it especially valuable for agencies and vendors that already use a variety of biometric capture devices and are seeking software that can tie it all together into one streamlined, compliant ecosystem.
Core Benefits of Bayometric’s Live Scan Software Include:
-
FBI Appendix F image quality compliance, including clarity, contrast, and accurate ridge detail
-
Full support for PIV standards used in federal ID credentialing programs
-
Secure EFT file creation and transmission using advanced encryption protocols
-
Mobile device compatibility, enabling field fingerprint collection in remote or on-the-go scenarios

A Solution for Multiple Sectors
This certification makes Bayometric’s technology especially attractive to government contractors, police departments, educational institutions, healthcare providers, and financial organizations that depend on high-integrity identity verification processes.
“The FBI’s certification underscores the level of trust and quality we’ve built into our Live Scan software,” said Samir Nanavati, CEO of Bayometric. “As identity fraud continues to grow, our clients need reliable, compliant, and future-proof biometric tools to safeguard their operations.”
A Milestone in Bayometric’s Innovation Roadmap
This achievement is not just a stamp of approval—it’s a signpost pointing toward Bayometric’s long-term strategy of innovation in secure, scalable biometric solutions. With over two decades in the industry, the company has consistently delivered forward-thinking identity management technologies to both government and commercial clients.
