The results are sent directly to the requesting agency, usually within 72 hours more or less.

Live Scan is commonly required for: State licensing (e.g., nursing, real estate, teachers, security guards). Employment background checks. Volunteering with youth, schools, or nonprofits organizations. Adoption or foster care applications. Immigration and visa-related screenings.
What Is Live Scan Fingerprinting?
Live Scan fingerprinting is a digital method of capturing fingerprints electronically — without using ink and paper. Your prints are scanned using a specialized device and then securely transmitted to government agencies like the California Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI for a criminal background check. It’s the modern standard for fingerprinting and is often required for employment, licensing, certification, volunteer work, or immigration-related purposes.
