How to Check Your Live Scan Status With Your ATI Number

1. Open the California DOJ status page.

Go to the California DOJ Applicant Background Check Status page.

2. Find the ATI number on your Live Scan form.

The ATI number (Applicant Tracking Identifier) appears on the copy of the Request for Live Scan Service form you received after fingerprinting.

3. Enter the ATI number and your date of birth.

Enter both items exactly as they appear on your form.

4. Review the California and FBI status.

The page will show whether each listed portion is still processing or has been completed.

What a Completed Status Means

A completed status means that the listed DOJ or FBI portion has finished processing. If one portion still says “in progress,” it has not been completed yet.

You may want to take a screenshot of the status page for your records.

What If There’s a Delay?

If your Live Scan is taking longer than expected, check the California DOJ status page again using your ATI number and date of birth. Some submissions take longer because the fingerprints or record need manual review.

Do not send your date of birth, Social Security number, or other sensitive personal information by email.
