    The Live Scan fingerprinting process can take 5 to 15 minutes depending on your application type and if you have enrolled online or not. Applicants who enroll online will usually have a QR code or Token that will automatically generate all of their information onto the Live Scan system; this will result in reduced data entry time for the Live Scan operator.

    Live Scan transactions are usually transmitted within 24 hours to your requesting agency, if you do not have anything on your record the law enforcement agencies will typically send a clearance letter to your requesting agency within 2 to 3 business days.

    Sometimes delays can happen, this is a result of poor quality fingerprints or inaccurate data entry, where the law enforcement agency is unable to identify your transaction. When it comes to poor-quality fingerprints, the law enforcement agency will manually review your fingerprints for a potential record match, if they are still unable to make a determination, they will request that you come back for a resubmission. If there is an issue related to inaccurate data entry, the law enforcement agency may request for you to resubmit your transaction with the correct information. A resubmission request is usually communicated directly to your requesting agency and they will then inform you.
