Our understanding from Florida Soccer Referees is that adult referees who have not previously completed a fingerprint-based background check need to be fingerprinted as part of the background check. Fortunately, there is a fingerprinting kiosk at the UPS Store on St. Andrews just south of the Mall, and no appointment is needed.
Adult referees who have previously completed a fingerprint-based background check will not need to submit fingerprints again for the state of Florida. However, they will need to complete a national screening renewal.
