The actual scanning of your fingerprints takes just a few minutes, however, extra time is required to verify you have the right paperwork, validate your photo ID, and input your information into the Live Scan system.

• What do I need to get a Live Scan?

  This varies by State, some states like California require the Request for Live Scan form, and other States require that you have an ORI number from your requesting agency. The best practice is to get further instructions from your employer or requesting agency. In many cases, you can initiate the Live Scan submission process by enrolling online, this includes making a payment and scheduling an appointment.

• How to get a copy of your personal fingerprint-based record?

However, you can request a copy of your personal background check report by submitting a request for an FBI Identity History Summary Check.
