Applicant Processing Fees
Once you have provided the necessary form to your applicant, he/she can determine where to be
fingerprinted. The DOJ applicant processing fee for Elder Care license is $32, which is payable by you or
the applicant at the live scan site.
Fingerprinting services are available at most local police departments, sheriff's offices or any public
applicant Live Scan site. To find the sites nearest to your agency and a listing of their rolling fees, see
http://ag.ca.gov/fingerprints/publications/contact.php.
Please note: The applicant must present valid photo identification when being
fingerprinted. Expired identification information will not be accepted. In addition, the live
scan site charges a fee for rolling the fingerprints of the applicant.
Applicant Background Check Status Inquiries
Due to the on-going fiscal crisis and hiring restrictions within State government, the California DOJ no
longer has the resources to take phone calls or process follow-up inquiries from regulatory entities or
individuals who have submitted a criminal offender record information search request through the DOJ or
the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
Please utilize or advise your clients to use the automated Integrated Voice Response System (IVRS) at
(916) 227-4557 to determine the status of the background check if the requesting agency does not have
results within seven days and digital Live Scan fingerprints were submitted.
You will need the following information:
(1) the applicant's date of birth; and
(2) the 10-digit Automated Transaction Identifier (ATI) number that appears at the bottom of the DOJ
form (BCII 8016) requesting Live Scan fingerprint background checks. The ATI number always appears in
the following sequence: 1 LETTER; 3 NUMBERS; 3 LETTERS and 3 NUMBERS.
No Longer Interested (NLI) Form
It is your responsibility to immediately notify the DOJ when an applicant’s employment has been terminated,
if they were not hired or when an applicant or volunteer is not actually retained to the position for which they
applied. Included in this packet is the NLI form you will complete and return to the DOJ for these purposes.
