How Live Scan works
Live Scan fingerprinting is a digital process used throughout California to submit fingerprints securely to government agencies.
- Your fingerprints are captured electronically (no ink required)
- Your Live Scan form determines where results are sent
- The ORI code routes the submission to the correct agency
- Your prints are transmitted securely to DOJ and/or FBI
- You receive an ATI number as proof of submission
The results are sent directly to the requesting agency—not to you.

- Employment background checks
- Professional licensing (real estate, insurance, healthcare)
- Teachers, childcare providers, and school staff
- Healthcare and caregiver roles
- Volunteers working with vulnerable populations

Each request is tied to a specific agency, which means you usually cannot reuse a previous Live Scan submission.
