Live Scan Fingerprint

A modern, inkless fingerprinting method that captures your fingerprints electronically and securely transmits them to the California Department of Justice (DOJ), FBI, or other authorized agencies for background checks and identity verification.

Benefits of Live Scan

• Fast and accurate.
• No messy ink.
• Reduces errors and rejections.
• Quick turnaround on background check results.
• Secure and encrypted submission.

Live Scan Fingerprinting Process

1. Applicant fills out a Request for Live Scan form (provided by the requesting agency).
2. Live Scan technician verifies ID and enters personal information into the system.
3. Fingerprints are scanned electronically—no ink is used.
4. Data is encrypted and submitted instantly to the CA DOJ, and/or FBI.
5. Results are sent directly to the requesting agency (not to the applicant, unless specified).

Ink Fingerprinting

The traditional method of collecting an individual’s fingerprints is by using black ink and a fingerprint card. The person’s fingertips are rolled in ink and then carefully pressed onto a standard fingerprint card, capturing the unique ridge patterns of each finger.

When Is Ink Fingerprinting Used?

Ink fingerprinting is still widely accepted and often required for:

• Out-of-state license or background checks.
• Federal forms (FD-258 fingerprint card, SF-87, etc.)
• Immigration and visa applications
• Some jobs or government agencies that do not accept Live Scan
• FBI Background Checks for personal review or travel abroad
• Applications outside California or in states that don’t use Live Scan

What the Process Involves

1. The technician applies ink to each finger.
2. Fingers are carefully rolled on a fingerprint card in the correct sequence.
3. The card is either mailed by the requested agency or submitted by the applicant

Benefits of Ink Fingerprinting

• Accepted nationwide and internationally
• Ideal for forms that require physical submission
• Still a reliable, cost-effective method of identity verification
