Steps To Applying for a Racetrack Employee Occupational License

The people who fingerprint you can give your TCN to you.

  1. Fill out Application
  2. Write a check made payable to the FGCC
  3. Have your fingerprints taken/Get your fingerprint card. (ORI FL925184Z must be used when submitting electronic fingerprints.)
  4. The physical fingerprint cards get mailed here.
  5. You can check the, “transaction status,” of your fingerprints via your TCN here: (What is my TCN?) using the FDLE Civil Workflow Control System Transaction Status Search.
  6. {If you have ever been denied of a license in the past because of, “failure to complete an application,” or, “Submitting an incomplete application,” the racetrack will not grant you a temporary license to give to the Security Office in order to obtain your badge.
    The Florida Gaming Control Commission does not tell you after you have paid the fees whether or not your application has been approved!

    The FGCC does not process the application or the fingerprints at the point of sale.
    The FGCC notifies you whether or not your application has been approved only by mail.
    (NOTE: You provide the FGCC with your email address on your application!) If you have issues at this juncture, the following road is the avenue via which you must travel}:
  7. Before you will be granted a license again, the STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL REGULATION DIVISION OF PARI-MUTUEL WAGERING requires you to submit a, “Request for Release of Information and Authorization to Release Information,” form (DBPRPMW_3195-Release-of-Information,) to them.
    (You have to have this form notarized before you submit it!!)
    which is a piece of paper with your personal information on it which allows the STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL REGULATION DIVISION OF PARI-MUTUEL WAGERING to send your personal information to the Florida Gaming Control Commission, which summits such information to their, “Operations Department”. Attached to this form you must submit a, “Request for Waiver,” form (DBPRPMW_3180-Waiver- ).
    If you are ever asked to submit a, “Request for Waiver,” form, the FGCC will NOT grant you a temporary license. The FGCC tells you, “You have to wait.” When you ask them how long, the tell you, “I don’t know.” 

You can also call the main office in Tallahassee and request it.

Phone Number: (850) 880-3433

After the FDLE has been “completed” verifying that your fingerprints are valid, the FDLE forwards your fingerprint file to the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) to run a background check.

The FBI, then, compiles a packet and forwards it to the Florida Gaming Control Commission. Then, the FGCC reviews the packet and informs you if more information is required, or if your application is denied (and for which reason(s)); or they will print your temporary license and hand that to you.
