Applicants must get instructions and the forms required for fingerprinting services from the agency requiring their criminal history background check. All applicant fingerprint submissions must be transmitted electronically. Live Scan digital submissions provide the quickest way to submit and process background checks. Live Scan technology allows digitally scanned fingerprints and related information to be submitted electronically to the Department of Justice within a matter of minutes and allows criminal background checks to be processed usually within 72 hours. In California, fingerprinting must be done by a certified fingerprint roller or qualified law enforcement personnel. 1-Touch LiveScan is a certified personal service provider, in compliance with the DOJ.
