One Fingerprinting Account for Your Firm’s Staff and Clients
We set up one billed-to-the-firm account so your paralegals, notaries, professional fiduciaries, and clients are all fingerprinted on the right agency form by a DOJ-certified technician — documented to the matter, not chased one receipt at a time.
Every Print Your Firm Orders, in One Place
Staff, the roles a board or court requires, and client matters — captured on the correct form and documented for the file.
Staff & associate onboarding
Paralegals, clerks, and new associates captured by electronic Live Scan, billed to your office rather than reimbursed one receipt at a time.
Professional fiduciary clearance
The DOJ and FBI Live Scan a conservator, guardian, or trustee needs for a Professional Fiduciaries Bureau license before a court will appoint them.
Notary commission Live Scan
The Secretary of State Live Scan a staff member needs for a notary commission, on the SOS form so it routes to the right agency.
State Bar moral character
The Determination of Moral Character Live Scan an incoming associate needs, so admission is not held up while the firm waits on the result.
Client out-of-state & federal cards
Wet-ink cards for a client’s out-of-state board, federal, or foreign filing, ordered on the firm account and documented to the matter.
Documented to the matter
A completion record for each person, tied to the matter or personnel file, so the firm can show the step was done and when.
Clear the Roles a Court Won’t Appoint Without It
For a trusts-and-estates or probate practice, the practitioner serving as a professional fiduciary has to be licensed first, and that license turns on a DOJ and FBI clearance. We capture it on the Bureau’s own form so nothing routes to the wrong place:
- Conservator, guardian, or trustee
- Professional Fiduciaries Bureau
- Live Scan to the DOJ and FBI
- On the Bureau’s own form
- Billed to the firm account
- Completion record for the file
Most of these clear on electronic Live Scan; an out-of-state filing or a board that wants a card runs on a wet-ink card instead, which we roll in the same office.

A clearance attached to the wrong agency, or assumed to carry over, costs the firm weeks on a matter or a start date. Each risk below names the rule and the consequence.
A fiduciary appointed without a license
A private professional fiduciary cannot be court-appointed as a conservator, guardian, or trustee without a Bureau license, and the license requires a DOJ and FBI Live Scan clearance. No clearance, no appointment.
Reusing prints from another agency
Fingerprint results are confidential to the requesting agency and may not be shared, so a person cleared for one board still needs a fresh submission for another. Assuming a prior print carries over delays the matter.
The wrong Request for Live Scan form
Each role — fiduciary, notary, State Bar, a DCA board — uses its own form and routing code. The wrong form sends the result to the wrong agency or nowhere, and the person has to be re-printed.
An associate who cannot be admitted yet
An incoming attorney’s moral-character determination depends on a Live Scan result. A late or misrouted submission delays admission, and the associate cannot practice until it clears.
Fingerscan Digital provides fingerprinting and identity-verification services, not legal advice — confirm the exact requirement and form for a role with the relevant board, court, or the State Bar. Where a rule varies by role, it typically requires Live Scan; verify the current requirement before relying on it.
From Account Setup to a Documented File in Five Steps
Open the firm account
We set up a standing net-30 account for the firm, so staff, practitioners, and clients are all billed centrally rather than paying individually.
Tell us the role or matter
Name the board, court role, or client filing and we select the correct Request for Live Scan form and routing for that agency.
Capture prints
Staff and onboarding groups captured onsite at your office; individual clients captured at our San Jose office, by a DOJ-certified technician.
Submit to the agency
Prints transmit electronically to the DOJ and FBI on the right channel, or roll to a wet-ink card for an out-of-state or federal filing.
Documented to the file
You receive a completion record for each person, tied to the matter or personnel file, on one invoice to the practice.
Quote-Based, Billed to the Firm
Account and volume pricing depends on how many people and which agencies, so we quote it rather than publish a fixed rate.
Per-person, lower with volume
A flat per-person capture rate that decreases with volume. The DOJ and FBI processing fee is passed through at cost and quoted at order — set by the agencies, never marked up.
Onsite or at our office
Onsite dispatch for staff onboarding or a group of client signings, quoted by headcount and distance; individual client matters are handled walk-in at our San Jose office.
Net-30 firm account
A standing 30-day net account so the firm is billed directly and neither staff nor clients pay at the counter, with one record back per person for the file.
Need document preparation alongside a filing? Our office partner TruPoint Legal, a California-registered legal document assistant practice, handles deed, trust, and probate document preparation in the same San Jose office.

What Firm Administrators Ask Us
No. A private professional fiduciary must hold a Professional Fiduciaries Bureau license to be appointed by a court as a conservator, guardian, or trustee, and that license requires a Live Scan criminal-record clearance to the DOJ and FBI (Professional Fiduciaries Act, Business and Professions Code 6500 to 6592). We capture it on the Bureau’s own Request for Live Scan form so the result routes to the Bureau.
No. Fingerprint results are confidential to the agency that requested them and may not be shared, so a person cleared for one board, court, or employer still needs a fresh submission for another. A staff member or client fingerprinted elsewhere is not carried over, which is why we submit on the correct form for the specific role.
An incoming attorney’s Determination of Moral Character with the State Bar of California depends on a Live Scan result, and the associate cannot be admitted until it clears. We capture it on the State Bar form and submit promptly so a start date is not held up waiting on the background result. Confirm the current requirement with the State Bar.
Three things, usually. Onboarding staff and new associates; clearing a practitioner into a licensed role such as a professional fiduciary, a notary commission, or a Department of Consumer Affairs board; and ordering client filings for out-of-state, federal, or foreign matters. We run all three on one firm account rather than sending each person out separately.
Yes. We set up a standing net-30 account so the firm is billed directly and neither staff nor clients pay at the counter. The government DOJ and FBI processing fee is passed through at cost, and you get one record back per person for the matter or personnel file instead of chasing individual receipts.
Yes. When a client’s matter needs a wet-ink card for an out-of-state board, a federal agency, or a foreign filing, we roll it in our San Jose office and prepare it for mailing, ordered on the firm account. The submission is documented to the matter so the file shows it was completed.
Yes. A DOJ-certified technician can come to your firm for staff onboarding or a group of client signings, across Northern California, with no applicant minimum and last-minute or emergency dispatch available. Individual client matters are also handled walk-in at our San Jose office.
Yes. We provide a completion record showing each person was captured and submitted, tied to the matter or personnel file. It documents that the fingerprint step was completed and routed to the right agency, which is what an auditor or a court file expects to see.
