The California Department of
Justice (DOJ) has established a process of
performing background checks utilizing digitized
fingerprints. A relatively new process, called
Live Scan, which allows fingerprints to be
electronically transmitted to the DOJ in a
matter of seconds. This technology replaces
rolling fingerprints on an ink pad and sending
them in the mail. This delay slowed the process
by weeks and even months, and if smudged, the
process may have to be repeated.
The Live Scan process
notifies the results of your criminal background
check to your organization or employer within
days.
