In a major advancement for digital identity verification, Bayometric has officially received FBI Appendix F certification for its Live Scan software. This endorsement places the company’s biometric solution among the most trusted and technically compliant platforms available for fingerprint capture and electronic transmission to federal agencies.
The FBI’s Appendix F standard is considered the highest benchmark for fingerprint image quality, interoperability, and reliability. Certification is required for any organization submitting biometric data to the FBI’s Next Generation Identification (NGI) system—the largest and most advanced biometric database in the world.
Bayometric’s software underwent extensive evaluation alongside industry-leading fingerprint capture devices such as the Suprema RealScan G10, Integrated Biometrics Kojak, and Thales DactyScan 84c. The result is a system that not only meets but exceeds the FBI’s criteria for resolution, clarity, and formatting accuracy.
A Leap Forward for Digital Fingerprinting
Fingerprinting has long been a cornerstone of secure identification, but outdated ink-and-paper methods no longer meet the demands of today’s fast-paced world. Digital Live Scan solutions are now the standard—and Bayometric’s offering stands out for its precision, speed, and ease of integration.
With its FBI certification, the Live Scan software from Bayometric ensures accurate capture and seamless transmission of 500ppi fingerprint images, in full compliance with the Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification (EBTS). This level of quality is essential for accurate matching and data retention across federal systems.
Moreover, the software supports a full range of scanning options, including rolled and flat impressions, four-finger captures, and mobile ID compatibility—making it adaptable to both in-office and on-site identity verification workflows.
Enhanced Security and Workflow Efficiency
One of the key differentiators of Bayometric’s certified software is its focus on automation and secure data transfer. Manual processing of Electronic Fingerprint Transmission (EFT) files can result in bottlenecks and errors. Bayometric’s solution minimizes these risks through built-in formatting checks, real-time image quality assessment, and end-to-end encryption for secure submission to CJIS and other agencies.
Whether used by a local police department, a federal contractor, or a background check agency, the software simplifies compliance and reduces delays caused by rejected submissions.
Versatility for Multiple Sectors
This new milestone has implications far beyond law enforcement. Healthcare institutions, financial services, immigration authorities, public education systems, and private employers all rely on secure identity screening. With Appendix F-certified software, organizations can now meet federal standards while benefiting from a faster, more streamlined process.
Bayometric has long supported agencies across the U.S. in adopting scalable, customizable biometric technologies. This certification is the next step in providing government-grade security to clients across both the public and private sectors.
Meeting the Moment in Biometric Innovation
“Our mission has always been to deliver cutting-edge identity solutions that don’t just meet expectations—but exceed them,” said Samir Nanavati, CEO of Bayometric. “Achieving FBI Appendix F certification is proof of our commitment to both innovation and trust.”
This recognition positions Bayometric as a frontrunner in the biometric space at a time when global demand for trusted identity systems is rapidly rising. With cybersecurity concerns, border control needs, and regulatory pressures intensifying, organizations are prioritizing tools that can withstand scrutiny and scale effortlessly.
