What happens when you are fingerprinted

Live Scan fingerprinting is a legal requirement designed to protect public safety by allowing the DMV to perform a background check as a prerequisite to obtaining an license. The fingerprint data that you provide when you come in and get fingerprinted is submitted to the California Department of Justice (DOJ). In most cases, there is no Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) level of review. Any relevant criminal history is then reviewed by the DMV to determine if you’re qualified to receive your license.
