What is Live Scan and Why is it Important?
The Basics of Live Scan
Live Scan is a digital fingerprinting process that transmits fingerprint data electronically to the California Department of Justice (DOJ) and/or the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). This process eliminates the need for paper fingerprint cards and speeds up background checks, often delivering results in a matter of days.
It’s commonly required for:
- Professional licensing (teachers, nurses, contractors, etc.)
- Employment background checks
- Volunteer work involving vulnerable groups
- Immigration and adoption processes
- Legal name changes and court-related matters
Why Accuracy Matters
An improperly captured fingerprint can delay your application or licensing process. Accuracy in Live Scan is critical to ensure your prints are accepted the first time, saving you time, money, and frustration. This is where the expertise of Anshin Mobile Notary and LiveScan truly shines.
