FINGERPRINTING FAQs

What is Live Scan Fingerprinting?

Live Scan is an inkless fingerprinting process where fingerprints are electronically transmitted to the Department of Justice for background screening. Ink fingerprinting is still required in many states. However, as a result of legislation passed in 1997, the California Department of Justice (CA-DOJ) has developed the automated background check process, which requires Live Scan fingerprints for criminal history background checks that may be required as a condition of employment. Live Scan technology replaces the ink process of recording fingerprint images. The CA-DOJ may also forward Live Scan fingerprints to the FBI if required.

Who Needs Live Scan?

Live Scan may be required as a condition of employment for: Teachers, Care Givers, Contractors, Security Guards, Nurses, Doctors, Surgeons, Real Estate Licensees, Appraisers, Notaries, DMV Licensed Professionals, Foster Parents, Stock Brokers, Volunteers, and anyone applying for a professional licensing, certification, or permit. Persons applying for foreign adoptions or VISA/Immigration clearances may also need Live Scan processing.

What is Required for Live Scan Processing?

This includes one of the following: DMV Driver’s License or ID (Out of state licenses accepted), Passport, Military ID Card, Alien Registration Card / Green Card Photo ID Card. Expired ID information cannot be accepted.

What are the Benefits of Live Scan Service?

You can check with the requesting agency or call the Department of Justice automated service line at (916) 222-4557. Make sure you have your birth date and ATI number when calling.
