What do I need to bring with me for Live Scan fingerprinting?

When going for a Live Scan fingerprinting appointment, be sure to bring the following items:

1. 1. Valid Photo Identification:
      You must present a government-issued ID, such as:
      • Driver’s license or state-issued ID card
      • Passport or passport card
      • Military ID
      • Permanent Resident (Green) Card
   2. Request for Live Scan Service Form (if applicable):
      Some states, such as California, require you to bring a completed Request for Live Scan Service form. This form provides details about the agency requesting the background check and includes information such as the ORI number (Originating Agency Identifier), which determines where your results will be sent. Check with the requesting agency to see if this form is necessary.
   3. Payment:
      Live Scan fingerprinting typically comes with a fee. Be prepared to pay for the service, and confirm the accepted payment methods with the Live Scan provider ahead of time. Common payment options include:
      • Cash
      • Credit or debit card
      • Check or money order
   4. Reference or Application Number (if applicable):
      If the agency or employer that requested your fingerprints provided you with a reference or application number, bring this information to ensure it is included in your submission.
   5. Additional Documents (if applicable):
      Some agencies or employers might require additional forms or documentation to accompany your fingerprints. Make sure to bring any paperwork provided by the agency or organization requesting the background check.

Bringing these items will ensure a smooth process during your Live Scan fingerprinting appointment.
