How long do you keep the Request for Live Scan Service form?
The California Department of Justice (DOJ) requires that Live Scan providers retain a copy of the Request for Live Scan Service form for a period of 12 months. According to DOJ guidelines:
- 12-Month Retention Period:
- The form must be kept on file for 12 months in a locked storage medium.
- Destruction of the Form:
- After the 12-month retention period has elapsed, or if the Live Scan provider ceases operations, the form must be destroyed by crosscut shredding to ensure the security of personal information.
Summary:
- The form is retained for 12 months, stored securely, and then crosscut shredded after that period, or sooner if the provider is no longer conducting business.
This rule ensures that personal information is handled securely and is destroyed after it is no longer needed.
