Bayometric Secures FBI Appendix F Certification for Its Live Scan Software, Strengthening Biometric Data Compliance Across Sectors
In a major step forward for secure identity verification, Bayometric has announced that its Live Scan Software has received FBI Appendix F Certification, making it one of the few biometric solutions rigorously tested and approved for federal-level fingerprint image quality and transmission compliance.
This milestone places Bayometric at the forefront of biometric technology providers offering secure, high-accuracy solutions for government, law enforcement, and enterprise clients.
A New Standard in Biometric Reliability
FBI Appendix F certification is considered the highest benchmark for fingerprint imaging systems. To achieve it, Bayometric’s software underwent intensive testing for clarity, consistency, and overall compatibility with the FBI’s Next Generation Identification (NGI) infrastructure.
The software was evaluated alongside top-performing fingerprint devices such as the Suprema RealScan G10, Integrated Biometrics Kojak, and Thales DactyScan 84c, confirming broad interoperability with industry-leading hardware.
Precision, Compliance, and Speed in One Platform
Bayometric’s solution is designed for accuracy and efficiency. It captures high-resolution 500ppi images that meet Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification (EBTS) standards, ensuring optimal performance in national and state-level databases.
In addition to meeting strict image standards, the software automates the creation and submission of Electronic Fingerprint Transmission (EFT) files, reducing the likelihood of manual entry errors and expediting data delivery to relevant authorities.
Key features include:
-
EBTS and PIV-compliant image processing
-
Support for flat, rolled, and thumb-only captures
-
Seamless integration with FBI-certified scanners
-
Encryption for secure end-to-end data transmission
Mobile Capabilities for On-the-Go Operations
As biometric identity capture expands beyond office environments, Bayometric has prioritized mobile live scan integration. The software works in tandem with portable scanning devices, enabling compliant fingerprint capture in the field—ideal for agencies needing flexibility without sacrificing quality.
This mobility feature is crucial for use cases such as:
-
Border patrol and customs checks
-
Disaster response teams
-
Mobile background checks
-
Field criminal bookings
Serving Government, Private Sector, and Public Safety
Bayometric’s certified solution supports a broad range of industries that depend on compliant and secure biometric data processing. This includes:
-
Federal and state law enforcement
-
Healthcare organizations conducting background checks
-
Financial institutions handling secure identity verification
-
Commercial vendors providing biometric services
By aligning with federal mandates, Bayometric’s software simplifies workflows and reduces compliance overhead for organizations in regulated industries.
