Clear Your Whole Team,
From Quote to Cleared
One DOJ-certified team runs the whole workflow — quote, account setup, onsite capture, and a completion record for your file — so a group clears together in one visit instead of trickling in over weeks.

How onsite group fingerprinting works for your organization
Most California employers and nonprofits have a licensing, regulatory, or audit reason to fingerprint the people they bring on — and for the majority of those mandates a fingerprint-based Live Scan to the DOJ is required, not a name-only check. The hard part is rarely the print itself; it is coordinating a whole group, getting the organization authorized, and keeping a clean record.
We built our workflow around that problem. Instead of sending each new hire or volunteer to find a walk-in office on their own time, you set up an organization account once, hand us a team list, and a DOJ-certified technician comes to your office, campus, or event and prints everyone in one scheduled session. Out-of-state submissions go on FD-258 cards by mail, and we route federal checks through an FBI-approved Channeler for expedited results.
One vendor handles Live Scan, FD-258 ink cards, FBI checks, and Form I-9 verification (USCIS Form I-9 ↗) under a single account — so a distributed team doesn’t turn into four separate errands.
What goes wrong when a group is left to fingerprint itself one by one
A coordinated onsite visit pays for itself the first time you stop losing a half-day of productivity per person and stop chasing rejected submissions. Each row names the failure, the rule behind it, and what it costs.
| What goes wrong | Governing rule | What it costs |
|---|---|---|
| Staggered, self-scheduled trips to walk-in offices | Operational reality | A half- to full-day of lost productivity per person; a team of 25 easily runs $5,000–$15,000 in lost hours before onboarding finishes. |
| A volunteer or hire uses a non-certified provider | California Business & Professions Code §22440 et seq. | The submission is rejected by the DOJ; the process restarts with a certified provider and government fees already paid are lost. |
| A name-based or database check used where Live Scan is required | Penal Code §11105; AB 506 (Bus. & Prof. Code §18975) | Does not satisfy the requirement — the organization stays non-compliant and exposed if an auditor, board, or insurer asks for proof. |
| Wrong ORI number or applicant-type code submitted | Penal Code §11105; BCIA 8016 requirements | The DOJ rejects the submission, government fees are paid twice, and onboarding slips one to two weeks per affected person. |
| No central record of who was printed and when | Books-and-records best practice | Audit and insurance exposure, plus cleanup overhead when compliance has to be reconstructed by hand. |
Our per-applicant rate is a fraction of what a single rejected submission or a slipped start date costs. We are a California DOJ-certified Live Scan provider, and we submit federal checks through FBI-approved Channeler partners for expedited results.
Setting up onsite group fingerprinting for your organization in six steps
Here is exactly how a group goes from a first quote to cleared records on file — the part most providers leave you to figure out alone.
Request a quote
Tell us your applicant count, location ZIP, target date window, and whether you need Live Scan, FD-258 cards, or both. We send back a quote with a flat travel fee plus a per-applicant rate that drops as your group grows — no vague “call sales” runaround.
Open your account — and get DOJ-authorized
We exchange a W-9 and a short services agreement and set up centralized billing on net-30 terms. If your organization isn’t set up with the DOJ yet, we help you get an ORI and a BCIA 8016 billing number configured. Youth-serving nonprofits and HR agencies that screen volunteers under Penal Code §11105.3 must also enroll in the state’s new CalVECHS program (BCIA 9017) before January 1, 2027 to keep running federal background checks — we walk you through that too. Everyone is billed to your account, so applicants never pay at the kiosk and there are no prepaid codes to hand out and track.
Send your team list
Upload a roster by CSV or secure form, or hand us the completed Request for Live Scan forms. We confirm the right applicant type and document requirements for each person and prepare every submission before the visit, so nothing bounces at the agency.
We capture onsite — or your team walks in
A DOJ-certified technician arrives with DOJ-certified equipment and fingerprints your whole group in one scheduled session at your office, campus, or event. Each person needs a valid government-issued photo ID; capture takes about five to ten minutes each. Smaller teams are welcome to use our San Jose walk-in office instead.
Prints clear the DOJ and FBI
Electronic Live Scan transmits to the California DOJ and the FBI for the criminal-history check. Out-of-state and federal submissions that require paper go on FD-258 ink cards by mail, and we route expedited federal results through an FBI-approved Channeler. Results go directly from the DOJ to your requesting agency — we never receive, store, or access them — and each submission carries an Applicant Tracking Identifier (ATI) you can use to check status on the DOJ site. A DOJ-only check typically returns in 1–3 business days and a DOJ-plus-FBI check in 3–7; a database backlog, a manual review of criminal history, or a smudged print that needs resubmission can extend that to 1–2 weeks.
Records and one invoice
You receive a completion record for your Custodian of Records file showing who was printed and when, and a single itemized net-30 invoice for the group — no reimbursement paperwork to chase across individual employees. Clients who fingerprint regularly keep a standing account so they never re-quote a routine visit.
What an onsite group costs
Pricing depends on your group size, location, and date, so your exact total is confirmed on your quote — we don’t publish a fixed mobile rate. It has three parts: a flat travel fee for the visit, a per-applicant rate that drops as your group grows, and government DOJ and FBI fees passed through at cost — and qualifying nonprofit youth organizations pay reduced state fees set by the DOJ. FD-258 ink cards, notarized mail-back, and overnight return shipping are available as add-ons.

What makes our workflow different
Groups as small as five
Many mobile providers require 20+ applicants or quote enterprise minimums. We come onsite for groups as small as five, with no long-term contract.
We help you get DOJ-authorized
New to fingerprinting as an organization? We walk you through getting an ORI and a BCIA 8016 billing number so submissions go under your own entity from day one.
One vendor, the full stack
Live Scan, FD-258 ink cards, Channeler-network FBI checks, and Form I-9 verification — coordinated under one account instead of stitched across several providers.
Billing your people never touch
Everyone is billed to your account under your ORI on net-30 terms — no kiosk payments, no prepaid codes to distribute and track, and no reimbursements for volunteers or new hires to file.
Last-minute and emergency onsite
A start date moved up or an auditor is asking? We take last-minute and emergency onsite requests across Northern California, not just routine bookings.
A record handed to your file
Every group gets a completion record showing who was printed and when — documentation your Custodian of Records, board, or insurer can rely on.
Which organizations run the process this way
Youth nonprofits & ministries
AB 506 fingerprinting for coaches, mentors, and event volunteers — printed onsite at one compliance event, with a completion record for your Custodian of Records.
Childcare & schools
Staff cleared before a start date under Community Care Licensing and California Education Code rules, scheduled around your hire windows.
Healthcare & senior care
Mobile fingerprinting plus expedited Channeler-network FBI for credentialing committees that cannot extend an offer without a cleared report.
HR new-hire groups
Onboard 5–200 people on one date with centralized billing, team-list intake, and a single invoice instead of dozens of receipts.
Law firms & professional licensing
Onsite rolling for staff, expert witnesses, and applicants — including FD-258 cards for out-of-state and federal submissions.
Out-of-state & multi-state employers
FD-258 cards mailed to your home office or a federal agency, plus Form I-9 verification for a California hire who can’t travel to HQ.
Set up a standing account and skip the re-quote
If your organization fingerprints people on a regular cadence — seasonal volunteers, rolling new hires, or multi-site staff — a standing account turns the whole workflow into a single phone call or email. We keep your ORI, billing, and document templates on file and schedule recurring onsite visits anywhere in Northern California without re-quoting each time.
- Net-30 invoicing on a single organization account.
- One-time onboarding: W-9, a short services agreement, and an optional BAA where protected health information is involved.
- Roster intake by CSV or secure form, with applicant-type and ORI confirmed up front.
- Statewide California and nationwide mailing for FD-258 cards and Channeler-network FBI submissions.
What a standing account covers
Recurring onsite scheduling, centralized net-30 billing, a dedicated contact, and a completion record after every visit — so compliance stays current without anyone chasing receipts.
Request an onsite quote
Tell us about your group — applicant count, location, and target date — and we’ll send a quote, typically within one business day.

How long does the whole process take, from quote to cleared records?
Once your account and team list are set, we can usually be onsite within 24–48 hours, capture the whole group in one visit. A DOJ-only check typically returns in 1–3 business days and a DOJ-plus-FBI check in 3–7, though a database backlog, a manual criminal-history review, or a smudged print needing resubmission can push it to 1–2 weeks. Out-of-state FD-258 cards depend on the receiving agency’s mail turnaround. The slowest part is almost always the initial DOJ authorization for a brand-new organization — which we help you set up.
Do we need our own ORI or CalVECHS enrollment, or can you help us get DOJ-authorized?
We can help you get authorized either way. If your organization already has an ORI and a BCIA 8016 billing number, we use them; if not, we walk you through getting set up with the DOJ. Youth-serving nonprofits and HR agencies that screen volunteers under Penal Code §11105.3 must also enroll in the state’s new CalVECHS program (BCIA 9017, with signed BCIA 9018 waivers) before January 1, 2027 to keep running federal checks — while schools, childcare, and healthcare employers follow their own separate statutory paths instead. We handle the setup so submissions go under your own entity and applicants never pay at the kiosk.
What do our employees need to bring to the onsite session?
Each person brings a valid government-issued photo ID. If your organization already has completed Request for Live Scan forms or an ORI, send them ahead and we prepare each submission before the visit; otherwise we set up the correct ORI and applicant type so nothing is rejected at the agency.
How do background-check results come back, and how fast?
Electronic results route to the requesting agency — the California DOJ and, where required, the FBI — typically in 1–3 business days for a DOJ-only check and 3–7 for DOJ-plus-FBI. Expedited federal Identity History Summary results route through an FBI-approved Channeler. You also receive a completion record showing who was printed and when for your compliance file.
Can you do Live Scan, FD-258 cards, and FBI checks in the same visit?
Yes. We capture prints electronically for in-state DOJ and FBI submissions, roll FD-258 ink cards for out-of-state and federal boards in the same session, and submit federal checks through an FBI-approved Channeler — all under one organization account, often on the same day.
How does billing work so our people don’t pay out of pocket?
We set up centralized billing on net-30 terms under your organization account, with applicants processed under your ORI. Staff, applicants, and volunteers never pay at the kiosk, and there are no individual reimbursements to chase — you receive one itemized invoice for the group.
What is the minimum group size for an onsite visit?
We come onsite for groups as small as five, where many mobile providers require 20 or more or quote enterprise minimums. There is no long-term contract, and the per-applicant rate drops as your group grows. For one or two people, our San Jose walk-in office is usually the better fit.
Does a name-based background check work, or do we need fingerprint Live Scan?
Most California mandates — employment screening under Penal Code §11105, professional licensing rules, and youth-organization compliance under AB 506 (Bus. & Prof. Code §18975) — require a fingerprint-based check submitted to the California DOJ, which forwards the federal portion to the FBI. A name-only or database check usually does not meet the standard. Confirm your specific requirement with your licensing board, insurer, or counsel.
