Bayometric, a leader in biometric identity technology, has officially received FBI Appendix F Certification for its Live Scan Software, marking a significant advancement in secure fingerprint capture and submission systems. This federal endorsement confirms that Bayometric’s platform meets the rigorous technical requirements for biometric imaging, interoperability, and data security outlined by the FBI.
Designed for use by law enforcement agencies, government contractors, and private sector identity service providers, Bayometric’s certified software now provides a verified pathway for compliant, high-accuracy biometric data transmission.
Appendix F: What It Means for Identity Verification
The FBI’s Appendix F Certification is a benchmark standard, applied to systems that capture and process fingerprints for use within the Bureau’s Next Generation Identification (NGI) program. To earn this certification, Bayometric’s software was tested alongside several industry-leading ten-print fingerprint scanners including:
-
Suprema RealScan G10
-
Thales DactyScan 84c
-
Integrated Biometrics Kojak
These evaluations confirmed the system’s ability to deliver fingerprint images with 500 pixels per inch (ppi) resolution—critical for minutiae extraction, accurate matching, and compatibility with federal identity databases. The software also complies with Personal Identity Verification (PIV) standards, a requirement for federal ID card programs and contractors.
Precision, Speed, and Security in One Platform
A standout feature of Bayometric’s solution is its streamlined handling of Electronic Fingerprint Transmission (EFT) files. The software simplifies the complex process of collecting, packaging, and transmitting biometric data, automating tasks that are often prone to human error.
With end-to-end encryption and direct integration with FBI-certified hardware, the platform ensures the secure and timely submission of sensitive data—a major benefit for law enforcement, public safety, and civil background check environments.
Mobile and Fixed Deployment Ready
Modern fingerprinting demands mobility. Bayometric’s Live Scan Software is built to function in both fixed installations and portable field units. Whether inside a city police station or at a mobile identification checkpoint in a remote area, the software provides consistent, FBI-compliant fingerprint capture.
Supported input formats include:
-
Rolled and flat prints
-
Thumb impressions
-
4-finger slap scans
-
Mobile ID capture using compact certified devices
This versatility makes the platform ideal for agencies and vendors operating across diverse physical environments.
Tailored to a Wide Range of Industries
Bayometric’s newly certified software isn’t just for public institutions—it also serves the private sector, especially industries requiring stringent identity verification such as healthcare, transportation, and finance. The system’s modular design makes it easy to scale and integrate into existing workflows, reducing implementation time and cost.
Organizations using Bayometric solutions can now proceed with confidence knowing their systems meet the same standards demanded by federal agencies.
