Live Scan is electronic fingerprinting. Instead of ink and paper, your fingerprints are captured digitally and transmitted securely to the requesting agency — which is faster and far less prone to rejection than ink cards.
Opening soon — appointments can be booked online now.
When you need Live Scan
- Employment screening and onboarding
- Professional licensing (nursing, real estate, insurance, contractors and more)
- Childcare, school and education clearances
- Volunteer and background-check requirements
- Adoption and foster care applications
How the appointment works
- Bring your paperwork. A valid photo ID plus the form from your agency showing the ORI and OCA numbers.
- Capture. Your prints are scanned electronically — no ink, no mess.
- Submission. We transmit your prints to the agency listed on your form.
- Timing. Most appointments take 10–20 minutes.
Live Scan or FD-258 — which do you need?
Your agency decides. If your form has ORI and OCA numbers and mentions electronic submission, you need Live Scan. If the agency asked for a physical fingerprint card — common for the FBI, out-of-state agencies and ATF — you need FD-258 cards. If you are unsure, bring your paperwork and we will read it with you.
