Live Scan in Los Angeles

Live scan is the process of capturing your fingerprint for background checking, employee screening, licensing, and more. It’s sent to the DOJ and FBI, who will conduct the background check using their vast fingerprint network. After that, the result will be forwarded to us.

For capturing, your fingerprints are pressed and rolled into a glass plate scanner. It’s widely used among law enforcement agencies as a modern alternative to ink-and-roll fingerprinting.

A live scan session only takes 15 minutes. Once all your fingers are scanned, you sign some paperwork, and you’re good to go. It’s a quick process, and you can get one from our offices in California.

You can get a live scan in any of our three offices in California. We have live scan sites in San Diego, West Hollywood, and Encino ready to process your request. You can book on our website or walk-in at your most convenient time.

A live scan can reveal a wide range of information. This includes criminal convictions, warrants, arrests, sex offender status, and protective orders. There could be more included information based on your jurisdiction.

A California live scan will show misdemeanor convictions as part of a person’s criminal record. The State of California mandates that live scans should only reveal records related to the following:

• Sex offenses
• Crimes related to elder or child abuse
• Incarcerations and convictions in the past 10 years due to burglary, theft, robbery, and any felony.

Live scans check for a person’s criminal history background. This is often requested by employers, law enforcement agencies, licensing agencies, and for adoption, among others.
