Are Technicians Helpful in Filling Live Scan Form

California’s DOJ (Department of Justice) provides live scan fingerprinting services that are followed by subsequent background check and response across the state. Multiple live scan centers are authorized for live scan fingerprinting, Los Angeles.  

About Live Scan Technicians

Certified live scan technicians at these centers are responsible for capturing the fingerprints and transferring them to the DOJ. They are highly professional and extremely patient. Patiently, they help applicants in capturing the images with utmost clarity. In fact, they even recapture the images, if required until they get it perfectly. For; imperfect or blur images lead to rejection, which causes inconvenience.  

Live Scan Form and Technicians

So, the technician’s expertise and zeal for perfection saves the applicant’s time and money. However, although the technicians are experts at what they do, their knowledge is restricted to fingerprinting. They do not possess the knowledge to fill the live scan form.

Here’s why.

• Requires Personal Information: Personal information like Name, Date of Birth, Address, Weight, height, eye color etc are required to be filled in the form. None other than the applicant has this information. So, the applicant must fill it. However, it is important to do it carefully; without errors.

• Identity of Requesting Agency: Employment, government agencies and child adoption centers commonly require background check from applicants to ensure safety from people with criminal background. Every requesting agency has a unique code given by the DOJ. This code (Originating Agency Identification) is required in the form, as the response after background check is sent to the requesting agency. This identification number is known only to the agency and not the technician. Applicants must get this number filled in the form by the agency’s official.

• Type of Form: Different kinds of live scan request forms are available depending on the kind of job one is applying for. Only the agency that is requesting for background check will be aware of the right form to be attained. The technician cannot be of any help in this matter.

• Kind of Background Check: The DOJ specifies the type of background check that is requested by the agency in question. The background check could be with the DOJ, FBI, CACI or firearms.

• DOJ: The DOJ maintains state level criminal database. So, the live scan request form for the DOJ will scan fingerprints with the database of State-wide arrests and convictions.

• FBI: The FBI maintains the nation-wide criminal database. If the requesting agency intends to verify the applicant’s details with all arrests and convictions across the country, then this form is required.

• CACI: It refers to Child Abuse Central Index. It includes data related to people who have a past history of abusing children or being convicted for any other crime against children. In case of a background check of people interested in adoption, this form is required for background check of the applicants, so as to ensure handing over the child to reliable caretakers without a criminal background.

• Firearms: People applying for the job of a guard or in a law enforcement agency are given this form to verify if they are eligible to hold firearms.

The live scan technician cannot be expected to possess knowledge about the above points. It is therefore, advisable for the applicants to visit the live scan center, prepared with the filled form using the above mentioned information.

With a properly filled form, the process can move on easily without hindrance, thus, saving time.  

The procedure after the submission of the form is smoothly carried out by the technicians at the live scan center.
