What is a Livescan ?

This relatively new technology allows criminal background checks to be processed usually within 72 hours. This livescan technology is sometimes referred to as: life scan, biometric fingerprinting, electronic fingerprinting and digital fingerprinting.

Why do I need live scan fingerprinting?

Live scan applicants are to submit their fingerprints electronically to the CA DOJ for the purpose of running a criminal history check. California law requires individuals to be fingerprinted in order to become certified or licensed in most professions. The California Department of Justice only accepts live scan fingerprinting and no longer accepts fingerprints via ink and hard card. Live Scan digital submissions provide the safest and quickest way to submit and process background checks.
