Bayometric has officially earned FBI Appendix F certification for its advanced Live Scan software, reaffirming the company’s reputation as a premier provider of biometric identity solutions. This recognition from the Federal Bureau of Investigation marks a major leap forward in ensuring data accuracy, security, and interoperability for law enforcement and government agencies nationwide.
The FBI’s Appendix F certification is not easily attained. It involves exhaustive performance and quality checks to ensure that fingerprint images meet strict standards for clarity, resolution, and compatibility with the Bureau’s Next Generation Identification (NGI) system. Bayometric’s software passed these evaluations, positioning it among a small class of elite biometric technologies approved for direct submission of Electronic Fingerprint Transmission (EFT) files to federal systems.
Next-Level Fingerprint Capture and Transmission
Bayometric’s Live Scan software streamlines the process of digital fingerprinting, eliminating the need for outdated ink-and-paper methods. It’s built to support high-resolution fingerprint capture with precision and efficiency. The software is compatible with leading hardware devices including Suprema RealScan G10, Integrated Biometrics Kojak, and Thales DactyScan 84c, providing agencies with maximum flexibility in their biometric setups.
Key technical benefits of the software include:
- 500ppi image capture resolution compliant with Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification (EBTS);
- Full support for Personal Identity Verification (PIV) standards;
- Interoperability with FBI-certified mobile and ten-print devices;
- Secure, encrypted EFT file creation and direct upload functionality.
Elevating Standards Across Sectors
Samir Nanavati, CEO of Bayometric, emphasized the broader importance of this achievement. “With cyber threats and identity fraud increasing, accuracy and compliance are more vital than ever,” said Nanavati. “Our clients trust us to provide software that doesn’t just meet expectations—it exceeds them. This FBI certification validates our commitment to those standards.”
The certification enhances the appeal of Bayometric’s platform for a wide range of users, from local police departments to large federal agencies. Whether used for criminal background checks, immigration processes, or healthcare credentialing, the software delivers fast, reliable, and standards-compliant biometric identification.
Optimized for Field and Office Use
The software also includes powerful mobile integration capabilities, allowing agents to capture fingerprints in real-time during field operations. Whether it’s roadside screenings or remote background checks, Bayometric’s solution ensures that data is collected securely and meets federal quality benchmarks.
Versatile Applications and Ongoing Support
In addition to its technical prowess, the solution is backed by extensive customer support, compliance consultation, and onboarding assistance. This enables live scan vendors, law enforcement agencies, and private contractors to integrate the system with minimal disruption.
The certification also opens the door for greater adoption of Bayometric’s biometric ecosystem, which includes mobile ID apps, secure access control, and identity verification tools tailored to high-security environments.
With over two decades of innovation in the biometric sector, Bayometric continues to drive the evolution of digital identity. Its Live Scan certification from the FBI stands as a testament to its focus on integrity, precision, and performance.
As identity technology continues to evolve, Bayometric is positioned to lead the charge with tools that are not only fast and secure, but fully aligned with the most rigorous compliance standards in the industry.
