INSTRUCTIONS FOR LIVE SCAN FINGERPRINTING
AND PRIVACY NOTICES
Live Scan Fingerprinting is available only in California. Live Scan fingerprint results will be
submitted to the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI) electronically.
If you need to have your fingerprints taken in another state, you must use the "hard card"
fingerprint method. To request hard cards and instructions, send an email to
BBS.Fingerprint@dca.ca.gov with "Fingerprint Hard Cards" in the subject line, and include
your mailing address. Please be advised that the DOJ processing time for hard card
fingerprints is a minimum of 8 to 12 weeks, or longer. In order to avoid processing delays
and additional costs that result from invalid fingerprint cards, fingerprints must be taken at a
law enforcement agency in the state of residence.
Fingerprint Fees - Paid to Live Scan Site
If you have your prints taken via Live Scan, you must pay the fingerprint fees below
directly to the site where you have your Live Scan fingerprints taken:
DOJ FINGERPRINT PROCESSING FEE: $32.00
FBI FINGERPRINT PROCESSING FEE: $17.00
In addition to these processing fees, there may be a service charge associated with
the Live Scan site you visit. The Live Scan service site will collect the above fees at the
time you are fingerprinted. The Live Scan service charge may vary from location to
location.
Complete the Request for Live Scan Service Form
You must complete and submit the attached Request for Live Scan Service form at the
Live Scan site. Make sure that the information provided in Section 3 of the form matches
the information on your BBS application. Once your fingerprints have been scanned, the
Live Scan Operator will complete Section 4 of this form and return the second and third
copies to you.
The second copy of this form, with Section 4 completed by the Live Scan Operator,
must be MAILED to the BBS in order to retrieve your fingerprint results from the DOJ.
Retain the third copy for your records as a proof of payment.

Departments offer the Live Scan fingerprinting service. Some large school districts,

Scan. A current listing of Live Scan sites is available on the DOJ website at
https://oag.ca.gov/fingerprints/locations.
Consider calling the Live Scan service provider for hours of operation, fees, and
appointment times if necessary. You must present valid photo identification (i.e., driver’s
license, military ID, or passport) at the Live Scan site.

Privacy Act Statement
Authority. The FBI's acquisition, preservation, and exchange of fingerprints and associated
information is generally authorized under 28 U.S.C. 534. Depending on the nature of your
application, supplemental authorities include Federal statutes, State statutes pursuant to Pub. L.
92-544, Presidential Executive Orders, and federal regulations. Providing your fingerprints and
associated information is voluntary; however, failure to do so may affect completion or approval
of your application.
Principal Purpose. Certain determinations, such as employment, licensing, and security
clearances, may be predicated on fingerprint-based background checks. Your fingerprints and
associated information/biometrics may be provided to the employing, investigating, or otherwise
responsible agency, and/or the FBI for the purpose of comparing your fingerprints to other
fingerprints in the FBI's Next Generation Identification (NGI) system or its successor systems
(including civil, criminal, and latent fingerprint repositories) or other available records of the
employing, investigating, or otherwise responsible agency. The FBI may retain your fingerprints
and associated information/biometrics in NGI after the completion of this application and, while
retained, your fingerprints may continue to be compared against other fingerprints submitted to
or retained by NGI.
Routine Uses. During the processing of this application and for as long thereafter as your
fingerprints and associated information/biometrics are retained in NGI, your information may be
disclosed pursuant to your consent, and may be disclosed without your consent as permitted by
the Privacy Act of 1974 and all applicable Routine Uses as may be published at any time in the
Federal Register, including the Routine Uses for the NGI system and the FBI's Blanket Routine
Uses. Routine uses include, but are not limited to, disclosures to: employing, governmental, or
authorized non-governmental agencies responsible for employment, contracting, licensing,
security clearances, and other suitability determinations; local, state, tribal, or federal law
enforcement agencies; criminal justice agencies; and agencies responsible for national security
or public safety.

Noncriminal Justice Applicant's Privacy Rights
As an applicant who is the subject of a national fingerprint-based criminal history record check for a
noncriminal justice purpose (such as an application for employment or a license, an immigration or
naturalization matter, security clearance, or adoption), you have certain rights which are discussed
below.
You must be provided written notification
1
that your fingerprints will be used to check the
criminal history records of the FBI.
You must be provided, and acknowledge receipt of, an adequate Privacy Act Statement
when you submit your fingerprints and associated personal information. This Privacy Act
Statement should explain the authority for collecting your information and how your
information will be used, retained, and shared.
2
If you have a criminal history record, the officials making a determination of your suitability for
the employment, license, or other benefit must provide you the opportunity to complete or
challenge the accuracy of the information in the record
.
The officials must advise you that the procedures for obtaining a change, correction, or
update of your criminal history record are set forth at Title 28, Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), Section 16.34.
If you have a criminal history record, you should be afforded a reasonable amount of time to
correct or complete the record (or decline to do so) before the officials deny you the
employment, license, or other benefit based on information in the criminal history record
.
3
You have the right to expect that officials receiving the results of the criminal history record check
will use it only for authorized purposes and will not retain or disseminate it in violation of federal
statute, regulation or executive order, or rule, procedure or standard established by the National
Crime Prevention and Privacy Compact Council.
4
If agency policy permits, the officials may provide you with a copy of your FBI criminal history record
for review and possible challenge. If agency policy does not permit it to provide you a copy of the
record, you may obtain a copy of the record by submitting fingerprints and a fee to the FBI.
Information regarding this process may be obtained at
https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/identity-
history-summary-checks
If you decide to challenge the accuracy or completeness of your FBI criminal history record, you
should send your challenge to the agency that contributed the questioned information to the FBI.
Alternatively, you may send your challenge directly to the FBI. The FBI will then forward your
challenge to the agency that contributed the questioned information and request the agency to verify
or correct the challenged entry. Upon receipt of an official communication from that agency, the FBI
will make any necessary changes/corrections to your record in accordance with the information
supplied by that agency. (See 28 CFR 16.30 through 16.34.) You can find additional information on
the FBI website at https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/background-checks
