In a major step forward for identity verification technology, Bayometric has announced that its Live Scan Software has received FBI Appendix F Certification, confirming the platform meets the highest standards for biometric image quality and data security.
This certification is a major milestone for Bayometric and for the broader biometric ecosystem, validating the software’s capabilities in capturing and transmitting fingerprint images that meet the FBI’s Next Generation Identification (NGI) system requirements. It provides law enforcement agencies, background screening firms, and government contractors with a robust, certified solution for digital fingerprint submissions.
What FBI Appendix F Certification Means
Appendix F is considered the gold standard for biometric systems. It defines the FBI’s technical requirements for fingerprint image quality and ensures consistency, reliability, and interoperability across federal and state identity programs.
Bayometric’s Live Scan Software underwent extensive testing with top FBI-approved devices such as:
- Suprema RealScan G10
- Integrated Biometrics Kojak
- Thales DactyScan 84c
These tests confirmed that Bayometric’s software delivers consistently high-quality, 500 ppi resolution images suitable for law enforcement and civil identification applications. The solution also meets Personal Identity Verification (PIV) standards, making it an excellent fit for federal agencies and contractors.
Reliable, Encrypted Data Transmission
A key advantage of Bayometric’s certified platform is its secure and efficient Electronic Fingerprint Transmission (EFT) file creation and submission capabilities. The software automatically processes and encrypts data, ensuring that sensitive applicant or criminal justice information is protected end-to-end during transmission.
This automated approach not only speeds up processing but also significantly reduces the chance of errors—a vital feature in time-sensitive environments such as border security, background checks, and public safety.
Built for Versatility and Field Use
Bayometric’s Live Scan Software supports multiple fingerprint capture configurations, including:
- Flat and rolled impressions
- Plain thumb scans
- Mobile ID capture for remote locations
The system is compatible with both desktop and mobile live scan hardware, empowering field agents and officers to perform fingerprinting in virtually any environment—from a police precinct to a mobile command center.
This flexibility is essential in today’s decentralized and mobile-first security landscape, where biometric operations need to be as agile as the threats they’re meant to combat.
Serving a Wide Range of Applications
From local police departments to large federal agencies, Bayometric’s newly certified software meets the varying needs of identity verification. It also offers benefits for industries like healthcare, finance, and transportation, where verifying individual identities quickly and accurately is crucial for compliance and safety.
The software’s modular architecture allows it to scale and integrate with existing systems, making it a cost-effective choice for both large enterprises and small agencies.
