Florida CDR Fingerprint Card

Situation:
I can't find the hard copy fingerprint cards needed for my Florida Certified Designated Representative (CDR) application.

Solution:
You'll find general information in the Electronic Fingerprinting FAQs (a pdf published by FL DBPR). Hard copy fingerprint cards are addressed in this FAQ:

• FAQ 14. If I am living out of state, how do I submit my fingerprints without having to travel to Florida?
• According to the April 2022 FAQ:
  
  "Go to the FDLE Livescan Service Provider List and choose a Livescan Service Provider that is certified as “hard card scanning capable”. These vendors have the ability to process fingerprints through additional methods, including the use of hard copy fingerprint cards. If the provider requests that you provide a fingerprint card, you may call the Department of Business and Professional Regulation at 850.487.1395 to obtain one. When requesting a card, please specify the profession for which you are seeking licensure.
  
  Out of State Alcoholic Beverage and Tobacco Applicants only:
  Your fingerprint card can be obtained from the Department of Business and Professional Regulation by contacting the Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco at 850.488.8284, or one of the division’s district offices. A listing of the district offices can be found on the web at http://www.dbpr.state.fl.us/abt/documents/mapofdistrictoffices.pdf. Once the fingerprint card is received, you may then go to a local law enforcement office in your area to have your fingerprints rolled onto the card. Information specific to the Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco will be preprinted on the fingerprint card. Other information will be completed at the local law enforcement agency. The instructions for submitting your fingerprint card are outlined above."
