In a significant move for identity management and public safety, Bayometric has announced that its Live Scan software has officially received FBI Appendix F certification—one of the most rigorous compliance benchmarks in the biometric technology industry. This achievement reinforces Bayometric’s commitment to delivering high-quality, secure, and interoperable fingerprint capture solutions for government agencies, law enforcement, and private organizations.
FBI Appendix F certification ensures that biometric systems meet precise technical standards necessary for integration with the FBI’s Next Generation Identification (NGI) system—the world’s largest and most advanced criminal biometric database. Bayometric’s software has passed all compliance tests for fingerprint image clarity, resolution, and formatting, making it an ideal solution for applications where accuracy and data security are non-negotiable.
Bridging Accuracy and Compliance in Biometric Systems
Fingerprinting remains a foundational component of modern identity verification, especially in sensitive environments like background checks, criminal justice, immigration, and secure hiring. However, poor image quality or misaligned formatting can result in rejections by national databases, leading to delays and administrative setbacks.
Bayometric’s certified Live Scan software eliminates these challenges by capturing fingerprint images at 500 pixels per inch (ppi), adhering to Personal Identity Verification (PIV) standards, and maintaining full compliance with the Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification (EBTS). Additionally, it supports seamless integration with FBI-certified devices like Suprema RealScan G10, Thales DactyScan 84c, and Integrated Biometrics Kojak.
“This certification reinforces our promise to customers: security and compliance without compromise,” said Samir Nanavati, CEO of Bayometric. “We are proud to empower law enforcement and enterprise partners with a tool that’s both efficient and future-ready.”
Streamlining Identity Workflows Across Sectors
Bayometric’s Live Scan software enables both stationary and mobile fingerprint capture, supporting operations in diverse environments—from police precincts to field operations. With features like automatic Electronic Fingerprint Transmission (EFT) generation, the software reduces the need for manual data entry, improving accuracy while saving time.
Government agencies and private contractors can confidently rely on Bayometric’s secure data encryption protocols, which safeguard sensitive information during transmission. Whether scanning at a border checkpoint or onboarding new hires in a corporate setting, the software provides a fast and compliant path to identification.
For organizations with existing infrastructure, the software offers a plug-and-play experience with minimal downtime, allowing for rapid deployment and scalability as operational needs grow.
Serving a Broader Mission of Public Safety and Trust
The impact of this certification extends far beyond the technical realm. For law enforcement agencies, it enables quicker access to criminal databases and more informed decision-making in real-time situations. In industries such as healthcare, education, and finance—where verifying identity is critical—Bayometric’s solution ensures regulatory compliance without adding friction to the user experience.
Bayometric has been a recognized name in biometric identity management for over 20 years, offering advanced solutions like fingerprint recognition, facial matching, document scanning, and ID verification systems. The company’s consistent focus on innovation and regulatory alignment has made it a reliable partner for both public institutions and global enterprises.
