What is Live Scan?

Live Scan is the electronic fingerprinting system used for California DOJ and FBI background checks. Instead of using ink and paper like traditional fingerprinting, Live Scan captures your fingerprints digitally and transmits them electronically to the appropriate agencies.

This electronic process is faster, more accurate, and more secure than ink fingerprinting. Your fingerprints are transmitted to the Department of Justice or FBI within hours, not days or weeks. The digital format also reduces errors and rejections caused by smudged or unclear prints.

Live Scan is required for most employment background checks in California, professional licensing applications, teaching credentials, security clearances, adoption and foster care applications, volunteer positions working with children or vulnerable populations, and many other purposes.

If your employer, licensing board, or organization has given you a Live Scan request form, you need to visit an approved Live Scan center like OfficeLOCALE to complete the fingerprinting process.

Our Live Scan Locations

OfficeLOCALE operates two convenient Live Scan centers in Ventura County.

• Our Newbury Park location is at 2639 Lavery Court, Unit A-2, Newbury Park, CA 91320. This is our main office and offers full Live Scan services during regular business hours and by appointment.
• Our Thousand Oaks location is at 275 E. Hillcrest Drive, Suite 160, Thousand Oaks, CA 91360. This location also provides complete Live Scan fingerprinting services with the same quality and speed you’d expect from OfficeLOCALE.

Both locations are staffed by trained professionals who understand the Live Scan process and work quickly to minimize your wait time. We maintain state-of-the-art equipment that captures clear, accurate fingerprints the first time.

How Live Scan Works

The Live Scan process is straightforward and takes just a few minutes once you arrive.

You’ll need to bring your Live Scan request form with you. This form is provided by your employer, licensing agency, or organization requesting the background check. It contains important information including the ORI number that tells us which agency should receive your fingerprints.

You’ll also need to bring valid identification — either a California driver’s license or a U.S. passport. We cannot process your Live Scan without proper ID.

When you arrive, our technician will verify your information and review your Live Scan form to ensure everything is complete. We’ll then capture your fingerprints using our electronic scanner. The process typically takes just a few minutes.

Your fingerprints are transmitted electronically to the California Department of Justice and, if required, to the FBI. Results are typically processed within hours, though the actual timeline for receiving your background check results depends on the requesting agency.

Live Scan Fees

Live Scan fees consist of two parts — the rolling fee charged by OfficeLOCALE for capturing and transmitting your fingerprints, and government fees charged by the DOJ and FBI for processing your background check.

Our rolling fee is competitive and among the lowest in Ventura County. Many customers tell us they chose OfficeLOCALE specifically because our rolling fees are more affordable than other providers.

Government fees vary depending on the type of background check requested. These fees are determined by the DOJ and FBI, not by OfficeLOCALE. The specific fees for your background check are indicated on your Live Scan request form.

We accept payment for both the rolling fee and government fees at the time of service. Payment methods include cash, credit cards, and debit cards.

Same-Day and Walk-In Appointments

We understand that fingerprinting is often urgent. You need to complete your background check quickly so you can start a new job, finalize a licensing application, or meet a deadline.

OfficeLOCALE offers same-day appointments for Live Scan services. Call us at 805-777-8866 and we can often schedule you for an appointment the same day, sometimes within hours.

We also accept walk-ins when our schedule allows. While appointments are recommended to minimize wait times, walk-in customers are welcome and we’ll do our best to accommodate you as quickly as possible.

Flexible Hours Including 24/7 Service

One of the things that sets OfficeLOCALE apart from other Live Scan providers is our flexible scheduling. We know that traditional business hours don’t work for everyone.

We offer extended hours and, by appointment, can provide 24/7 Live Scan services. If you work nights, weekends, or irregular shifts, we can schedule an appointment that fits your availability.

This flexibility has made us the preferred Live Scan provider for many healthcare workers, first responders, and others whose schedules make it difficult to visit during standard business hours.

Mobile Live Scan Services

In addition to our two office locations, OfficeLOCALE offers mobile Live Scan services. We can bring our equipment and staff to your location to fingerprint groups of employees, volunteers, or other individuals.

Mobile Live Scan is convenient for employers onboarding multiple new hires, organizations processing volunteer applications, schools and childcare centers completing staff background checks, and any situation where having Live Scan services come to you is more efficient than sending people to us.

Mobile service includes a base travel fee plus per-person fingerprinting fees. Call 805-777-8866 for a quote on mobile Live Scan services for your organization.

Traditional Ink Fingerprinting

While Live Scan is required for most California background checks, some out-of-state agencies and FBI applications require traditional ink-on-paper fingerprints.

OfficeLOCALE provides ink fingerprinting services using FBI-approved ink and FD-258 cards. We can roll your fingerprints manually onto paper cards when required for specific applications.

If you’re unsure whether you need Live Scan or ink fingerprinting, check with the agency requesting your background check, or call us at 805-777-8866 and we can help you determine which service you need.

Additional Services Available

As a full-service business center, OfficeLOCALE offers several additional services that complement our Live Scan fingerprinting.

We provide notary services for any document that requires notarization. Our on-site notary professionals handle documents quickly and accurately according to legal requirements. We also offer mobile notary services if you need a notary to come to your location.

We offer apostille services for documents being sent to foreign countries. If you need a California Secretary of State apostille, we can deliver your document in person to expedite the process. Call ahead to confirm your document will be accepted before sending it to us.

We also provide passport renewal services, making OfficeLOCALE a convenient one-stop location for multiple official and governmental needs.

Notary and Apostille Services

Besides Lives Scans, we also offer Notary and Apostille services for your convenience.   Any document can be notarized.  But for apostille (usually for a foreign country document), please make sure that your document will be accepted by the Secretary of State prior to sending us your document by calling 805.777.8866.  officeLOCALE cannot determine if your document will be accepted for filing and we charge a service fee for delivering the document in person regardless if the document is apostilled or rejected.

Apostille Information

The California Secretary of State provides authentication of public official signatures on documents (international certificates) to be used outside the United States of America. The country of destination determines whether an Apostille or Authentication is applied per the Hague Convention. Please check the Hague Convention list of countries to make sure your country is included prior to requesting an apostille.

The most common types of documents submitted for legalization include:

• Diplomas
• Deeds of assignment
• Transcripts
• Distributorship Agreements
• Letters relating to degrees
• Bylaws

• • Home studies
  • Articles of Incorporation
  • Powers of attorney
  • Papers for adoption purposes
  • Merger Agreements
  • Certificates of non-marital status
  • Certificates of Amendment

These documents must be current certified copies or must have been notarized by a California Notary Public. For school records you must obtain a notarized copy of record from the high school, college, or university, etc. prior to forwarding to the Notary Public Section for authentication.
