The Bel-Air Live Scan service page has the appointment details; this guide explains how to prepare, what happens during fingerprinting, and how to avoid a preventable return visit.
How Live Scan fingerprinting works
Live Scan captures fingerprints electronically and sends the submission through the routing supplied by the requesting agency. The agency normally provides a completed Request for Live Scan Service form showing the ORI and requested level of service. The operator captures the prints and provides the applicant’s copy with an ATI number. For a broader overview, see our Live Scan fingerprinting guide or the California Department of Justice applicant guidance.
Who commonly needs Live Scan near Bel Air
- Studios and production crews completing background-check requirements for film, television, entertainment, or media work.
- Offices and workplaces onboarding corporate employees, healthcare staff, licensed professionals, caregivers, or contractors.
- Local residents living in Bel Air apartments, condos, or homes who need fingerprinting for employment, licensing, school, or volunteering.
What to bring to your appointment
- The completed Request for Live Scan Service form supplied by the agency requesting the background check.
- Current, acceptable photo identification; confirm the provider’s ID requirements if you are unsure.
- Any billing code, payment instructions, or special directions provided by the requesting agency.
- Your name and other applicant details written consistently with your identification.
A lot of people come in with an incomplete form or only a screenshot. If the form is wrong or the routing fields are missing, the operator cannot decide what the agency intended. It’s better to confirm the form before submission.
Step-by-step process during the appointment
- Review the agency name, ORI, level of service, and your applicant information.
- Present the form and identification to the operator.
- Place each finger on the scanner while the system checks image quality.
- Review the applicant information before the transaction is transmitted.
- Keep your copy of the form and the ATI number provided after submission.
The appointment is usually quick if the form is complete, the identification is ready, and the fingerprints capture clearly. Processing after transmission is handled by the appropriate agencies, so the operator cannot promise a clearance date.
Common mistakes that can cause delays
- Arriving without the requesting agency’s Live Scan form.
- Using a form for a different employer, license, or application.
- Entering a name or date of birth that does not match the identification presented.
- Assuming the operator can select or change the ORI or level of service.
- Leaving without keeping the applicant copy and ATI number.
Most delays we see begin with incomplete instructions or inconsistent applicant information. We commonly see this with people handling several licensing or onboarding applications at once.

Live Scan vs fingerprint cards
Live Scan is an electronic California submission routed according to the requesting agency’s form. Fingerprint cards record ink or card-based impressions and may be requested for federal, out-of-state, or other applications. These methods are not interchangeable. Follow the receiving agency’s written instructions and confirm before choosing one.

Frequently asked questions about Live Scan in Bel Air
Can I get Live Scan without a request form?
Applicants generally need the requesting agency’s completed Request for Live Scan Service form. The form tells the operator where the submission must be routed and which level of service the agency requests.
How long does a Live Scan appointment take?
The fingerprint-capture portion is often brief when your form and identification are ready. The background-check processing time is separate and can vary by agency and individual record.
Can I reuse a Live Scan from another job or license?
Usually, a prior submission cannot simply be redirected to a different recipient. Ask the new requesting agency whether it requires a new submission for its own authorized purpose.
What should I do with the ATI number?
Keep the applicant copy containing the ATI number and submission date. The California DOJ uses the ATI number and date of birth for its applicant-status search, and the requesting agency may need that information when checking a submission.
When should I use fingerprint cards instead?
Use fingerprint cards when the receiving agency specifically requests them, such as for some federal or out-of-state processes. Do not substitute cards for Live Scan, or Live Scan for cards, without the agency’s approval.
