Live Scan Services
Live Scan is a way to take inkless fingerprints, which are then digitalized and transmitted directly to the Department of Justice (DOJ).
The DOJ then checks the fingerprints against known criminal history records.
A response (criminal history or no criminal history) is then sent to the agency requesting the Live Scan.
If an applicant has no criminal history a response should be sent from the DOJ to the requesting agency in approximately 3 to 7 days.
