Effective May 1, 2004, the Human Resources Department began providing Live Scan Fingerprinting Services. Trained HR staff members are available, by appointment, to fingerprint County employees and County residents at our Human Resources Live Scan Offices. Additionally, the HR Department offers portable Live Scan services to County departments requiring 10 or more fingerprint submissions.
What is Live Scan?
Live Scan is an automated background check process that requires digitized fingerprints. The process is totally ink free. The fingerprints are electronically transmitted to the statewide criminal database at the Department of Justice (DOJ) in a matter of seconds, instead of days normally required to send hard copy fingerprint cards through the mail. The DOJ Live Scan provides reports with detailed information on California convictions based on a fingerprint match. Anyone applying for certain types of employment or licensing may be required to be Live Scanned.
The background check is solely intended for determining an individual's employability, promotability, and or acceptability as a provider of public services.
Others requiring Live Scan Services may include but not limited to: Teachers, Daycare Employees or Home Daycare Providers, Elder Care Givers, Nurses, Doctors, Coaches, Foster Parents, Adoptive Parents, Security Guards, etc.
Additionally, those applying for licensing as a Realtor, Stock Broker, Attorney, Pharmacist, Psychologist, MFT, LCSW, Driving Instructor, New/Used Vehicle Dealer or Salesperson, or any other vehicle industry related occupation licensed by the DMV, may require the use of this service.
