Bayometric, a global leader in biometric identification technology, has officially received FBI Appendix F certification for its Live Scan Software—a crucial endorsement that signifies compliance with the FBI’s highest standards for fingerprint quality and interoperability. The certification affirms Bayometric’s position as a reliable provider for organizations that require secure, government-compliant identity verification.
As biometric solutions become essential across industries such as law enforcement, healthcare, and finance, the need for software that meets federal security and quality benchmarks is paramount. With this certification, Bayometric’s Live Scan system is now recognized as fully capable of producing fingerprint images that meet the FBI’s Next Generation Identification (NGI) requirements for clarity, resolution, and formatting.
Raising the Bar for Digital Fingerprinting
The FBI Appendix F standard ensures that fingerprint images are captured and transmitted with exceptional precision, minimizing data rejection rates and ensuring compatibility with national and state databases. Bayometric’s Live Scan Software was rigorously tested with widely used fingerprint scanners including the Suprema RealScan G10, Integrated Biometrics Kojak, and Thales DactyScan 84c. It passed with high marks for image consistency, system performance, and device integration.
“This achievement reflects years of dedicated development focused on compliance, reliability, and security,” said Samir Nanavati, CEO of Bayometric. “Earning FBI certification shows our commitment to helping agencies and businesses implement cutting-edge identity solutions with total confidence.”
Built for Accuracy, Designed for Speed
Bayometric’s software enables users to capture rolled, flat, and thumbprint scans with 500ppi resolution, ensuring the biometric data meets Personal Identity Verification (PIV) and Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification (EBTS) standards. The result is a streamlined process for submitting Electronic Fingerprint Transmission (EFT) files with minimal risk of rejection or delay.
In addition to high-quality capture, the software includes automated data formatting and secure encryption protocols for safe transmission of sensitive information—features that significantly reduce administrative burden and bolster data integrity.
Mobile-Ready and Field-Tested
Recognizing the growing demand for mobile identification, Bayometric’s solution supports seamless integration with portable biometric devices. Whether in a police cruiser or a field office, agencies can rely on Live Scan to deliver FBI-compliant fingerprint scans on the go.
This flexibility is crucial for sectors that operate beyond traditional office environments, such as border control, disaster relief teams, and mobile background check services. Real-time identity verification becomes not only possible, but dependable, wherever it’s needed.
Trusted by Public and Private Sectors Alike
While law enforcement and federal agencies are obvious beneficiaries of the certification, Bayometric’s Live Scan Software is also a robust fit for private sector applications. Employers in healthcare, education, and financial services can now access certified tools that support background checks and onboarding processes with federal-level accuracy.
With data privacy concerns and regulatory scrutiny at an all-time high, organizations can’t afford to compromise on the tools they use for identity management. Bayometric’s FBI-certified software offers a future-proof solution that is scalable, secure, and easy to integrate.
A Foundation for the Future of Biometrics
Bayometric’s certification arrives at a moment when biometric security is becoming a cornerstone of national infrastructure and digital transformation. The company plans to build on this achievement by expanding its portfolio of identity solutions, continuing to invest in mobile technologies, and supporting a broader range of use cases across public and private domains.
