The Live Scan request form—officially titled the “Request for Live Scan Service” (Form BCIA 8016)—is the document required to process your background check through the California DOJ. It must be filled out by the requesting agency and the applicant. The form contains key identifiers such as the ORI code, applicant type, and information on where results should be sent.
Yes. In almost all cases, the agency or employer requesting your background check must give you a completed Live Scan request form. This includes essential information such as the ORI code, purpose of the request, and where results should be routed. You cannot complete your fingerprinting without it.
No. The Live Scan form must be printed and brought to your appointment. While some agencies allow you to fill out your portion of the form digitally, it cannot be submitted online. You must bring a hard copy to your Live Scan appointment.
The requesting agency fills out the “Contributing Agency Information,” “Applicant Submission,” and, if applicable, “Employer” and “OCA number” sections. The applicant fills out the “Applicant Information” section, including name, address, ID type, and contact details. We cannot proceed without all required fields properly completed.
You do not submit the form to us in advance. Simply bring the completed request form and valid photo ID with you to your scheduled appointment. We will electronically submit your fingerprints based on the data in the form and return you two signed copies for your records.
Not exactly. The same BCIA 8016 form is used, but it must indicate whether the background check is for DOJ only, FBI only, or both. The “Level of Service” box must be checked correctly, and the ORI code and application type must align with the requesting agency’s requirements. We can help confirm this at your appointment.
No. Each Live Scan request form is tied to a specific purpose and agency. If you need fingerprints for more than one application (e.g., employment and licensure), each agency must issue a separate request form with its own ORI code and purpose.
Yes. All applicants—including minors—must present a completed “Request for Live Scan Service” form to be fingerprinted. Parents or legal guardians may accompany minors to the appointment, and additional documentation may be required depending on the agency.
Bring the completed request form and one valid government-issued photo ID. Acceptable IDs include a California driver’s license, a California identification card, an out-of-state driver’s license, or a passport from any country. The ID must be current and not expired. See official DOJ ID guidelines here.
