Clear Your Whole Team for Compliance Through One Account
Open one billing account and we run every fingerprint your roles require — Live Scan, FD‑258 ink cards, Channeler-network FBI, and Form I‑9 — at our San Jose office or onsite across Northern California, billed net‑30 so no one pays at the counter.

One requesting-agency code, the right service for each role
Employer fingerprinting in California is not universal — it applies to roles a regulator names: licensed professionals, people working with children or dependent adults, financial-services representatives, contractors, and many positions of trust. Each of those clears through a fingerprint-based DOJ and FBI record check routed by your Originating Agency Identifier (ORI), so results reach the right board or agency.
The friction is rarely the fingerprint itself — it is getting authorized, picking the correct submission for each role, and keeping individuals from paying out of pocket. We open your ORI and a net-30 account, then process your people by electronic Live Scan for California submissions or by FD‑258 ink cards for out-of-state filings, and add Form I‑9 Section 2 verification for remote hires when the new hire cannot reach your headquarters.
Electronic Live Scan capture at our San Jose office, or brought to your site across Northern California.
What goes wrong when the submission is handled loosely
A rejected print or a misrouted submission rarely costs a few dollars — it costs the start date. These are the failures we are built to prevent. Fingerscan Digital provides fingerprinting and identity-verification services, not legal advice; confirm how each rule applies with your own counsel or licensing analyst.
Using a non-certified provider
Captures by an uncertified operator can be rejected and re-done, losing days per applicant. Capture is performed only by DOJ-certified personnel under a certified provider.
Bus. & Prof. Code §22440Wrong ORI or applicant-type code
The wrong agency code or applicant type routes results to the wrong place or returns the wrong level of check — a silent delay that surfaces only when the board has nothing on file.
Penal Code §11105 · BCIA 8016A name-based check where prints are required
For youth-serving organizations, a name-based or database check does not satisfy AB 506 — fingerprints are required, and results are tied to your organization and not transferable.
B&P §18975 · Penal Code §11105.3Caregivers working before clearance
Community Care Licensing roles generally require a criminal-record clearance before an individual’s initial presence in the facility — start someone early and the facility’s own license is exposed.
Health & Safety Code §1522Missing the FINRA 30-day window
If a registered representative’s prints are not received within 30 days of the Form U4 filing, the rep can be moved to inactive status and cannot do business until they clear.
FINRA Rule 1010 · SEC Rule 17f-2Lost productivity off-site
Twenty-five hires each losing half a day to drive to a walk-in counter is real money. One onsite visit clears the cohort where they already are, with a completion record for your file.
Operational exposureFrom first call to a cleared team in four steps
Tell us your roles
Share the roles and volume. We map each one to the rule it falls under and the correct submission — Live Scan, FD-258, FBI, or I-9.
We set up your account
We help you obtain the ORI and configure net-30 billing — usually the same week, with a W-9 and a short services agreement.
Send your team or book onsite
Walk applicants into our San Jose office, or we dispatch to your site anywhere in Northern California for the whole group.
We submit & bill
Prints transmit to the DOJ and FBI; results route to the requesting agency. You get one net-30 invoice and a completion record.
Quoted by your cohort and where we go
Because onsite and volume work depends on how many people you process and how far we travel, we quote rather than post a fixed mobile price. The model is simple: a per-applicant rolling rate that decreases with volume, plus a flat onsite dispatch fee where we come to you, with government DOJ and FBI fees passed through at cost as a separate line.
Government fees are set by the state, not by us — the California DOJ and FBI processing fees are fixed per submission and billed to your account, so individuals never reach for a card at the counter. Tell us your roster and date and we send a written quote and hold the slot.
- Per-applicant rate that drops as volume rises — quoted by cohort size.
- Flat onsite dispatch fee for mobile visits anywhere in Northern California.
- DOJ and FBI government fees passed through at cost, itemized on your invoice.
- Net-30 invoicing, so applicants never pay out of pocket and file reimbursements.
- Zero-rejection focus — a quality reject is re-rolled at no extra charge.
One vendor accountable for the whole onboarding stack
Live Scan, FD-258, Channeler-network FBI, and Form I-9 under a single billing account — not a portal and a location map across separate vendors.
We help you get DOJ-authorized and configure the ORI and net-30 billing number — the step national networks tell you to handle yourself.
We dispatch to your office, clinic, school, or job site for cohorts as small as five, with rush and emergency dispatch across Northern California.
We name the rule your role falls under — H&S §1522, AB 506, FINRA Rule 1010, CSLB B&P §7069 — and run the submission that satisfies it.
A completion record for your compliance file on every cohort, and a standing net-30 account for organizations that onboard on a recurring basis.
A named founder you can reach, Silicon Valley speed, and English, Spanish, and Vietnamese intake for a diverse workforce.

Frequently asked questions
How do we set up fingerprinting for our whole staff in California?
Tell us the roles and how many people you have. We help you obtain your ORI, open a net-30 billing account, and process everyone by Live Scan at our San Jose office or onsite at your location — usually starting the same week.
How do we get an ORI and billing number so employees don’t pay at the counter?
We walk you through obtaining the Originating Agency Identifier for your purpose and configure a billing account so DOJ and FBI fees are invoiced to your organization on net-30 terms. Applicants simply show up and get printed.
Which fingerprinting does our industry actually require?
It depends on the role: Live Scan for in-state employment and licensing (for example Health & Safety Code §1522 or CSLB B&P §7069), fingerprint Live Scan for AB 506 volunteers (B&P §18975), and FD-258 ink cards for out-of-state filings. Send us your roster and we map each role to the right submission.
Can one vendor handle Live Scan, FD-258, FBI, and I-9?
Yes — that is the point of a single account here. We run electronic Live Scan, roll FD-258 cards, submit Channeler-network FBI checks, and complete Form I‑9 Section 2 verification, all billed together.
Can you fingerprint our team onsite?
Yes. We dispatch to your office, clinic, school, or job site anywhere in Northern California and clear the whole group in one visit — cohorts as small as five, with rush and emergency dispatch available.
How is it priced?
Pricing is quoted by cohort size and travel distance: a per-applicant rolling rate that drops with volume, plus a flat onsite dispatch fee, with government DOJ and FBI fees passed through at cost. We send a written quote before any visit.
What is the difference between Live Scan and an FD-258 card?
Live Scan is California’s electronic submission, used for in-state employment and licensing. FD-258 is a wet-ink card for submissions routed outside California; we roll and mail those. We do not print a digital scan onto card stock.
Do we get documentation for our compliance file?
Yes. Every cohort comes back with a completion record you can keep for your file or hand to a Custodian of Records, and you can verify our DOJ certification independently.
