We offer Live Scan fingerprinting and ink fingerprinting to the general public. Live Scan digitally captures an individual's fingerprints so that they may be transmitted electronically to the State of California Department of Justice and/or the Federal Bureau of Investigations. Ink fingerprinting is done on hard cards which are then submitted by the applicant to the appropriate agency. Fingerprints are then cross-referenced with the criminal database to check an applicant's criminal history.

Live Scan is usually required for employment, licensing, and certification within the State of California. Ink fingerprints may be required for jobs out of state and foreign adoptions. If you require Live Scan fingerprints, then you must have the REQUEST FOR LIVE SCAN SERVICE FORM from the agency that is requiring you to be printed.

If you need ink fingerprinting, then you must have the proper ink card(s) provided to you by the requesting agency.
