Can I use my Live Scan fingerprinting results for multiple purposes?

No, Live Scan fingerprinting results cannot typically be used for multiple purposes. Each Live Scan submission is tied to a specific request or agency and is processed for a particular background check purpose. This is because the Originating Agency Identifier (ORI) number provided during the Live Scan process specifies which agency or organization will receive the fingerprint results. Different agencies may have different background check requirements.

Here’s why Live Scan results are usually not transferable:

1. 1. Specific Purpose:
      Each Live Scan fingerprint submission is tied to a specific background check purpose, such as for employment, licensing, or legal requirements. The results are sent only to the agency that requested them and cannot be shared with other organizations.
   2. Confidentiality:
      Due to privacy and security regulations, agencies are not allowed to share fingerprint results with other entities. If you need a background check for multiple purposes (e.g., applying for different licenses or jobs), you will need to undergo the Live Scan process again for each purpose.
   3. Agency-Specific Requirements:
      Different agencies have unique background check criteria, and the Live Scan submission will be tailored to meet the requirements of the specific agency requesting the check. This is why a fingerprint submission for one agency cannot usually fulfill the needs of another.

If you need fingerprints for multiple purposes, you’ll need to complete the Live Scan process separately for each request. Each submission will be linked to the appropriate ORI number and agency that requires the background check.
