Bayometric, a leading innovator in biometric identity solutions, has reached a significant milestone with its Live Scan software earning FBI Appendix F certification. This certification is a critical benchmark, signifying that Bayometric’s technology meets the stringent standards required for capturing and transmitting fingerprint data to federal systems, including the FBI’s Next Generation Identification (NGI) platform.
As the demand for secure, fast, and compliant biometric systems grows across sectors, this achievement firmly positions Bayometric as a trusted provider of high-accuracy identity verification tools for law enforcement, government agencies, and enterprise clients alike.
What Is Appendix F Certification?
The FBI Appendix F certification is more than a badge of approval—it is a requirement for all biometric systems that interact with national criminal and civil databases. It ensures the image quality, data formatting, and hardware compatibility necessary to maintain the integrity of fingerprint data across agencies.
Bayometric’s Live Scan software passed rigorous testing against these standards using top-tier fingerprint scanners including the Suprema RealScan G10, Integrated Biometrics Kojak, and Thales DactyScan 84c. These tests evaluate whether a system can consistently capture high-resolution (500ppi) fingerprint images that are clear, accurate, and ready for automated matching within federal databases.
Practical Benefits for Identity-Critical Operations
With this certification, Bayometric’s Live Scan software can now be confidently deployed in any scenario where biometric verification is essential. Police departments, immigration services, educational institutions, financial institutions, and healthcare systems can all benefit from this secure, scalable platform.
The software is designed to accommodate a wide range of fingerprint capture methods—including rolled and flat impressions, plain thumb scans, and four-finger images—making it suitable for both fixed and mobile use cases. Agencies working in the field can integrate the software with mobile biometric devices to collect FBI-compliant data on the go, ensuring flexibility and efficiency.
Security and Interoperability at the Core
Security is non-negotiable when dealing with biometric data. Bayometric’s system ensures end-to-end encryption for the creation and submission of Electronic Fingerprint Transmission (EFT) files. By automating the process, it also minimizes the risk of formatting errors or rejected submissions—common challenges that delay processing times in many agencies.
Furthermore, the software is compatible with a broad spectrum of FBI-approved biometric devices, making it easy for organizations to implement without having to overhaul existing infrastructure.
A Solution for Today—and Tomorrow
In an era where digital identity plays an increasingly central role in both public safety and private enterprise, Bayometric’s certified Live Scan software offers peace of mind for organizations seeking dependable compliance with federal biometric standards.
“This certification reflects years of focused development and our commitment to delivering secure, high-performance identity solutions,” said Samir Nanavati, CEO of Bayometric. “It’s not just about meeting requirements—it’s about setting new expectations for quality, security, and usability.”
This achievement aligns with Bayometric’s broader mission to modernize biometric authentication and identification across sectors. Whether supporting a local police department or a multinational enterprise, Bayometric provides the tools to navigate today’s complex regulatory landscape with confidence.
