The Florida Department of Financial Services has been notified that the FBI, which is responsible for processing all Florida insurance license applicant fingerprint information for federal background checks, will not be available to process any applicant fingerprints from April 28, 2010 through May 3, 2010. This is due to a U.S. Census Bureau project that requires immediate attention. The delay may create a three-week backlog once the FBI resumes normal fingerprint processing on May 4, 2010.
Insurance license applicants who are required to provide a set of fingerprints will be affected by this delay. It is recommended they submit their fingerprints before this time to avoid a delay in receiving their insurance license.
