How to Check on your Live Scan Results

Many applicants ask us how to check on their live scan results, the below form will help you in following up with the Department of Justice (DOJ). Please do not depend on the live scan technician to provide you with any type of follow up, it is your responsibility. If the fingerprint submission takes longer than 7 days to return any results to you, you can use this FORM to request DOJ to conduct research on the whereabouts of your live scan application.

Required Identification for Live Scan

Most live scan applicants are required to submit some type of identification to the Live Scan technician, we have provided information below that may help you determine valid forms of identification.


Prior to rolling fingerprint impressions, it is imperative that the identity of the applicant be established.
It is the responsibility of the fingerprint roller to check the identification of individuals being fingerprinted. A valid photographic identification must be presented by the applicant and checked closely by the certified fingerprint roller taking the fingerprint impressions. This ensures that the applicant’s identity is validated against proper identification which results in accurate information submitted to the DOJ.

The DOJ requires certified fingerprint rollers accept only current, valid, and unexpired picture identification documents as a primary valid identification. As such, a certified fingerprint roller must examine the photo identification presented to ensure all of the following:

The personal descriptor information (name, gender, date of birth, etc.) matches the information provided on the “Request for Live Scan Service” form (BCII 8016);

The expiration date has not elapsed; and,

The photograph reasonably resembles the Applicant’s physical appearance.
Acceptable Primary forms of photo identification include any of the following:

California Driver’s License

Department of Motor Vehicles Identification Card

Out-of-State Driver’s License
However, in the absence of a primary form of identification, a certified fingerprint roller may accept one or more of the following as Secondary forms of Identification, but only with two of the supplemental documents noted on the next page:

State Government Issued Certificate of Birth

U.S. Active Duty/Retiree/Reservist Military Identification Card (000 10-2)
6

U.S. Passport

Federal Government Personal Identity Verification Card (PIV)

Department of Defense Common Access Card

U.S. Tribal or Bureau of Indian Affairs Identification Card

Social Security Card

Court Order for Name Change/Gender Change/Adoption/ Divorce

Marriage Certificate (Government Certificate Issued)

U.S. Government Issued Consular Report of Birth Abroad 3

Foreign Passport with Appropriate Immigration Document(s)\

Certificate of Citizenship (N560)

Certificate of Naturalization (N550)

INS I-551 Resident Alien Card Issued Since 1997

INS 1-688 Temporary Resident Identification Card

INS I-688B, I-766 Employment Authorization Card
Please note: When validating the authenticity of secondary identification documents and forms, the data and information need to be supported by at least two of the following Supplemental documents:

Utility Bill (Address)

Jurisdictional Voter Registration Card

Vehicle Registration Card/Title

Paycheck Stub with Name/Address

Jurisdictional Public Assistance Card

Spouse/Parent Affidavit

Cancelled Check or Bank Statement

Mortgage Documents
When supplemental documentation does not support the validation of the original identification documents, the certified fingerprint roller should not accept the form of identification as valid and not fingerprint the applicant.

Live Scan Result Delays

After Certifix Live Scan trained technician conducts your live scan fingerprint session. The results are returned to the applicant agency within three days, delays can occur though. Applicants should check, for the first seven days, with the applicant agency that requested the background review since the DOJ sends results directly to the applicant agency. Delays can be caused by poor fingerprint quality, the existence of any criminal information in the applicant’s record, birthdates before 1920, and incorrect data submitted on the electronic transaction. You can help prevent delays by making sure the Live Scan operator has entered ALL the information on your Live Scan form and entered it CORRECTLY.
