What is an "OCA" number?
The OCA number is a field for the requesting agency to use for internal needs.
OCA stands for “Originating Case Agency”.
Sometimes the Request For Live Scan Service Form may have this field listed as “Your Number” or “Facility Number”.
This field in the live scan system is only required by specific agencies. (i.e. Department of Social Services – A0448).
Certifix uses this field to identify Certifix Billing Accounts. -
Can I swipe an Out-Of-State I.D.?
If the I.D. has a magnetic strip, it can be swiped. Otherwise, fill out the applicant data into Cscan manually and enter the ID number into the Misc Identification number field under “Operator’s License”.

Can I accept a passport I.D. as valid identification?
US and foreign passports can now be accepted as a primary form of identification. Foreign passports must include appropriate immigration documents, i.e. Homeland Security entry stamp.

Can the applicant use an AB60 / AB 60 driver's license?
AB 60 Driver’s License (info from California DOJ) https://www.aclunc.org/our-work/know-your-rights/california-ab-60-drivers-licenses If you present your AB 60 license in a state other than California, you may be at risk depending on the laws and policies of that state.
