Forms

Where can I find all the necessary forms for Live Scan fingerprinting?

Some Live Scan forms—such as those for real estate salesperson licensing—are available on our Forms page because they can be downloaded from public agency websites. However, many forms must be provided directly by the agency requesting your background check. It’s your responsibility to ensure you bring the correct form to your appointment.

Are the forms available online for download or submission?

Certain commonly requested forms are available for download on our website. Others are not publicly accessible and must be issued directly by the requesting agency. Forms cannot be submitted online—you must bring a printed copy with you to your appointment.

Do I need to bring the completed forms to my appointment?

Yes. You must bring a completed paper copy of your “Request for Live Scan Service” form. The agency should pre-fill the “Contributing Agency Information” and “Applicant Submission” sections. You are responsible for completing the “Applicant Information” section before your appointment.

Are there any specific forms required for group Live Scan fingerprinting?

Each participant in a group Live Scan session must bring their own completed “Request for Live Scan Service” form. The form must be filled out by the agency and the individual before the appointment, just like with individual applicants. Visit our Group Live Scan page for more details.

Can I fill out and submit forms electronically before my appointment?

You may complete the form digitally using a PDF editor, but you must print and bring a physical copy with you. We cannot accept electronic versions, and the fingerprinting process cannot proceed without a paper form in hand.
