Frequently asked questions
Tap a question to see the answer.
Do I need an appointment?
No. Walk in any day we’re open and arrive by 5:00 pm.
Do you do hard card fingerprints?
No. We only do Live Scan. We do not offer hard card (ink) fingerprints.
Can you print my Live Scan form?
No. We do not print forms. The employer, agency or school that asked for your Live Scan has to give you the form, in person or by email. Print it and bring it with you.
Can I use a blank form I found online?
We don’t recommend it. The form needs the requesting agency’s information filled in. If it’s missing or wrong, your results may not reach them and you may have to pay for a new scan. Ask the requesting party for their form.
How much will I pay?
Our fee is $25. State fees are added on top, based on the checks listed on your form. Ask the party that requested your Live Scan which checks you need.
How can I pay?
We take cash or card: Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover.
What ID do I need?
A valid state-issued ID or Driver’s License from any U.S. state. A passport alone is not enough.
Will I get a copy of my results?
No. Results go straight to the agency that requested your Live Scan. You keep a copy of your form with an ATI number, which the requesting agency can use to track your results.
How do I check my Live Scan status?
Go to the California DOJ Applicant Status site. Enter the ATI number from your copy of the form and your date of birth.
How long do results take?
Most results reach the requesting agency within a few days. Some take longer if the state needs to review your record. Contact the requesting agency for updates. You can check your status on the California DOJ Applicant Status site with the ATI number on your form and your date of birth.
I lost my form. What do I do?
Ask the party that requested your Live Scan to send you a new one. We can’t fill it in or print it for you.
