Frequently Asked Questions

• What is Live Scan fingerprinting?

  Live Scan is a digital method of capturing fingerprints and submitting them electronically to a state or federal agency for a background check. It replaces the old ink-and-paper process and offers faster, more accurate results.

• What’s the difference between Live Scan and fingerprint cards?

  Live Scan sends fingerprints electronically to an agency (such as the CA DOJ, FBI, or FDLE). Fingerprint cards (like FD-258) are printed on paper and mailed to the appropriate agency. Some states only accept one method—always check your requesting agency’s requirements..

• How does the fingerprinting process work?

  Fingerprinting is simple: enroll online to receive your QR code or Token, visit your selected location with a valid ID, and a technician will capture your fingerprints digitally or on an FD-258 card. Your prints are then submitted electronically or mailed, depending on the service you selected.

• What do I need to bring to my fingerprinting visit?

  Bring a valid government-issued photo ID and any required documents such as your Live Scan Request Form (if applicable) or your QR code/Token from online enrollment. Requirements vary by service, so follow the instructions provided during enrollment.
