Bayometric, a leading name in biometric identification and identity management technology, has officially received FBI Appendix F Certification for its advanced Live Scan Software platform. This recognition from the FBI further cements Bayometric’s role as a trusted provider of secure, high-quality biometric solutions used by government agencies, law enforcement, and private institutions.
Achieving Appendix F compliance requires rigorous testing to verify fingerprint image quality, reliability, and device interoperability—standards that ensure accurate matches within the FBI’s Next Generation Identification (NGI) system. Bayometric’s software has passed these evaluations with distinction.
A New Standard for Live Scan Performance
Appendix F is the FBI’s most comprehensive specification for fingerprint image capture systems. It sets the bar for resolution, contrast, image fidelity, and overall suitability for biometric identification. Certification demonstrates that Bayometric’s Live Scan Software consistently delivers images that meet or exceed all federal criteria.
During testing, Bayometric’s platform was validated with some of the industry’s most respected ten-print scanners, including:
- Suprema RealScan G10
- Integrated Biometrics Kojak
- Thales DactyScan 84c
This ensures the software performs reliably with a wide range of FBI-approved hardware, giving organizations the freedom to choose the right device for their specific needs.
Enhanced Security and Workflow Automation
Bayometric’s Live Scan Software is designed not only to meet compliance benchmarks but also to optimize the user experience. It automates key steps such as Electronic Fingerprint Transmission (EFT) file creation, encryption, and submission, reducing errors and speeding up processing time.
Key features include:
- Capture of 500ppi images in line with EBTS (Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification)
- Support for PIV (Personal Identity Verification) standards
- End-to-end encryption for secure transmission of sensitive data
- Seamless integration with FBI-certified fingerprint devices
For agencies and vendors managing high volumes of biometric data, this translates to faster throughput, greater data integrity, and improved operational efficiency.
Versatility for Both Fixed and Mobile Applications
Recognizing the growing need for remote and mobile biometric capture, Bayometric has engineered its software to function in both fixed and mobile environments. Whether deployed at police departments, border checkpoints, government buildings, or in the field, the platform supports:
- Rolled and flat ten-print scans
- Thumb impressions
- Mobile ID capture via portable live scan devices
This flexibility makes the software an ideal solution for mobile teams and field units that require FBI-compliant fingerprinting on demand.
A Trusted Solution Across Industries
Bayometric’s certified platform is already being adopted by law enforcement agencies, federal contractors, healthcare institutions, and corporate security departments. The software helps streamline identity verification while ensuring full regulatory compliance.
Organizations using the software benefit from:
- Reduced reliance on paper forms or manual entries
- Greater accuracy in background checks and identity validation
- Compliance readiness for federal and state requirements
With this certification, Bayometric reinforces its long-standing commitment to innovation, security, and compliance.
