01 / WHAT IS LIVE SCAN?
DIGITAL FINGERPRINTING.
SECURE SUBMISSION.
Live Scan is an electronic fingerprinting method that captures fingerprints digitally rather than using traditional ink cards. For California applications, the fingerprint data is transmitted electronically to the California Department of Justice (DOJ) and, when required, the FBI for a fingerprint-based background check.
Live Scan is commonly required for certain employment positions, professional licenses, certifications, and volunteer assignments. The requesting agency determines the correct submission information and receives the background-check results; the fingerprinting retailer does not decide eligibility or receive the criminal-history report.
02 / HOW TO COMPLETE YOUR LIVE SCAN
FIVE SIMPLE
STEPS.
- Obtain your request form.
Get the completed Request for Live Scan Service form (BCIA 8016 or agency-specific form) from the employer, licensing board, school, or requesting agency. Confirm the ORI and agency details.
- Prepare your identification.
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID and your Live Scan form. If you enrolled through Certifix online, bring your enrollment confirmation or token as instructed.
- Contact us to arrange fingerprinting.
Ask about appointment availability, location, fees, and the submission type your agency requires.
- Complete digital fingerprint capture.
The operator verifies your identification, enters the form information, captures your fingerprints electronically, and submits them through the applicable processing system.
- Keep your ATI number and check status.
Retain your completed form or receipt with the Automated Transaction Identifier (ATI). Use the California DOJ status checker with your ATI and date of birth to monitor processing.
03 / VERIFY YOUR SUBMISSION
CHECK YOUR
LIVE SCAN STATUS.
California DOJ provides an official Applicant Background Check Status portal. Enter the ATI number from your Live Scan receipt and your date of birth to see whether your fingerprint transaction is still processing or has been completed.

BEFORE YOU
ARRIVE.
