Get Your New Hires and Volunteers
Cleared Before the Start Date
We set up your DOJ billing account, obtain your ORI if needed, and fingerprint your team onsite or in San Jose — billed net‑30 so no one pays at the counter, by a DOJ-certified Live Scan provider.
One certified submission, the whole team, no counter payments
For an organization, Live Scan is less about the scan and more about the paperwork around it. The print has to go to the DOJ under the right ORI, with the correct applicant type and mail code, or results get misrouted or rejected — and a rejected print can mean paying for a second one and a missed start date.
Give us the requesting-agency details once. If your organization already has an ORI, we configure billing under it; if you don’t have one yet — common for new employers and youth organizations under AB 506 — we help you apply to the California DOJ to obtain your ORI and billing number. Then your people walk into our San Jose office or we bring the equipment to your site. Every submission is captured by a DOJ-certified technician, checked for quality before it leaves, and logged to your account with a completion record for your file.
Most providers hand your staff a form and hope it’s filled out right. Our team knows what the Medical Board, Community Care Licensing, school districts, and AB 506 each require, and we build every submission to match the first time. New here? See how we work with employers.
What Live Scan clears
Employment, professional licensing and renewal, and volunteer background checks that require fingerprint-based DOJ and FBI results — healthcare, childcare, senior care, schools, finance, security, and youth organizations.
Live Scan vs. FD-258 ink cards
The electronic method is California-only. If a worker is licensing out of state or an out-of-state agency requires a physical card, you need FD-258 ink cards instead — we roll and mail those too.
What a mishandled fingerprint submission actually costs
A Live Scan looks like a commodity until a submission is rejected, misrouted, or done under the wrong authority. For a regulated employer, the exposure isn’t the rolling fee — it’s the deadline you miss and the penalty that follows.
Youth orgs & volunteers (AB 506)
AB 506 (Bus. & Prof. Code §18975; Penal Code §11105.3) requires fingerprint clearance for administrators, employees, and regular volunteers of youth-serving organizations. A name-based check does not satisfy it, and that clearance is not transferable between organizations — using the wrong method leaves volunteers uncleared at season start.
Care employers (CCL)
Childcare, senior care, adult day care, and in-home caregiver roles require a Community Care Licensing fingerprint check (Health & Safety Code §1522 and §1596.871) before an employee has client contact. Onboarding someone before clearance can mean operating out of compliance during a licensing review.
Healthcare licensing
The Medical Board of California and allied boards require fingerprint clearance for licensing and renewal. A rejected or wrong-ORI print pushes a credentialing-committee date and delays a clinician’s first billable day.
Wrong ORI, or an uncertified provider
A print submitted under the wrong ORI, applicant type, or mail code on the BCIA 8016 form (Penal Code §11105) can be misrouted or rejected by the DOJ — a resubmission means a second rolling fee, a second appointment, and lost time. California also requires fingerprints be captured by DOJ-certified personnel (Bus. & Prof. Code §22440); a discount walk-in rarely verifies the form before you pay.
Educational only — Fingerscan Digital provides fingerprinting and identity-verification services, not legal advice; confirm your obligations with your own counsel or licensing board. The point is simple: a DOJ-certified provider that builds the submission correctly the first time is cheap insurance against a missed deadline.
From requesting-agency setup to a cleared team
Send us your details
Give us your requesting-agency information and applicant volume. A W-9 and a short services agreement go back to you. If you don’t have an ORI yet, we help you obtain one from the California DOJ, then set up net-30 billing before anyone is printed.
We confirm the right form
The correct ORI, applicant type, and mail code are verified up front, so prints route correctly the first time — no misrouted or rejected submissions.
Your team is fingerprinted
Walk applicants into our San Jose office, or have a certified fingerprint technician process your whole team onsite, anywhere in Northern California.
We submit, you get one invoice
Prints transmit to the DOJ and FBI the same day, and results route straight to your agency. You get a completion record per applicant and a single net-30 invoice.
Transparent rolling fee — government fees shown separately
At our San Jose office
Flat $40 rolling fee per applicant
Plus state and federal government fees, billed as a separate line. Government fees are set by the DOJ and FBI — not by us — and every authorized location collects the identical state amount.
- Walk-ins welcome; appointments recommended for groups.
- On a net-30 account, your applicants never pay at the counter.
Onsite / mobile & volume
Custom quote by group size and location
Onsite and high-volume pricing depends on team size and travel distance, so we quote it directly rather than post a number that won’t fit your job. No 15-person minimum and no setup fee.
- Groups as small as five, anywhere in Northern California.
- Net-30 volume billing with one consolidated invoice.
We compete on getting it right and on time. A correct submission and a deadline you keep are worth far more than a few dollars off the rolling fee.
Accountable, accurate, and built around your deadline
We don’t let prints bounce back
A certified fingerprint technician checks every print for quality before it leaves, and we confirm the ORI and applicant type up front. That zero-rejection focus is the difference between a start date that holds and one that slips.
One visit clears the whole team
We bring our certified team and the equipment to your office, clinic, school, or church — single-visit completion that clears the whole team at once.
We move when your deadline is tight
Facing a deadline? Last-minute and emergency onsite requests are welcome across Northern California — a genuine differentiator most providers don’t offer.
One vendor for the whole stack
Live Scan, Channeler-network FBI, FD-258 ink cards, and Form I-9 verification under one organization account — not four vendors and four invoices.
We help you obtain your ORI
No ORI yet? We help you apply to the California DOJ to obtain one, then open net-30 billing under it — so staff and volunteers never pay at the counter and there are no reimbursements to chase.
Proof for your compliance file
You get a completion record for every applicant — the proof a licensing reviewer or insurer asks for.
Clearances by industry and situation
Every regulated sector has its own rule. See all the sectors we serve on our industries overview, or pick yours below.
Healthcare & licensing
Medical Board of California licensing and renewal require fingerprint clearance, so clinical hires are processed onsite to keep a credentialing date from slipping.
Senior care & adult day care
Staff serving seniors and adult day programs clear a Community Care Licensing check (Health & Safety Code §1522) by fingerprint — done for your whole team.
Childcare & schools
Childcare providers and staff clear Community Care Licensing / TrustLine (§1596.871) by fingerprint; school staff fall under the Education Code. Visits are scheduled around your start dates.
Nonprofits, churches & youth orgs
AB 506 (§18975) requires fingerprint clearance for administrators, employees, and regular volunteers — one onsite visit clears the team before the season.
Finance, security & staffing
DRE, DFPI, BSIS, and FINRA-regulated roles, plus high-volume staffing placements — recurring fingerprinting on a standing account that keeps placements on schedule.
Out-of-state & travel nurses
A California nurse licensing in another state needs FD-258 ink cards (the electronic method is California-only) — rolled and mailed for you, alongside I-9 for out-of-state hires.
Set up a standing fingerprinting account for ongoing onboarding
Organizations onboarding people every month — healthcare systems, school districts, staffing agencies, growing nonprofits — run a standing account instead of requesting a fresh quote each time. Setup takes minutes and is free.
- Net-30 invoicing with one consolidated statement per group.
- Centralized ORI / billing so applicants never pay at the counter.
- Team-list intake by CSV or secure upload; completion records returned for your file.
- Signed services agreement and W-9 on file; BAA available where protected health information is involved.
- Multi-state support via FD-258 mailing and in-person I-9 for distributed teams.

Fingerprinting FAQ for organizations
What is Live Scan, and who needs it?
Live Scan is California’s electronic fingerprint background check: a technician captures prints digitally and sends them to the California DOJ and FBI for an employment, licensing, or volunteer clearance. Most regulated California hires need it — healthcare, childcare, senior care, schools, finance, security, and youth-organization staff and volunteers.
How do we set up an ORI and billing so staff don’t pay at the counter?
If your organization already has an ORI, give us the details and we configure billing under it. If you don’t have one yet, we help you apply to the California DOJ to obtain your ORI and billing number. Either way we open a net-30 account, so government fees bill to your organization and staff and volunteers never pay out of pocket.
Can you fingerprint our whole team at our location?
Yes. A certified fingerprint technician travels with DOJ-certified equipment to your office, school, clinic, or church across Northern California, for groups from five people up to several hundred — with rush and emergency service when a deadline is tight.
How fast do DOJ and FBI results come back?
Submission happens the same day. DOJ results typically return in 24–72 hours and Channeler-network FBI results in as little as 1–4 hours. Turnaround can vary with fingerprint quality or record complexity, but most submissions clear quickly enough to hold a start date.
What’s the difference between Live Scan and FD-258 ink cards?
Live Scan is the electronic method, accepted for California submissions. FD-258 ink cards are physical cards for out-of-state, federal, and international agencies that don’t take electronic Live Scan — including for a California nurse licensing in another state. You can get both, often in the same visit.
Does a name-based background check satisfy a fingerprint requirement?
For fingerprint-mandated clearances — AB 506 volunteers, Community Care Licensing roles, and most board licensing — no. A name-only or database check does not meet the standard; a fingerprint-based DOJ/FBI check is required, and it is not transferable between organizations.
How much does Live Scan cost?
At our San Jose office the rolling fee is a flat $40 per applicant, plus state and federal government fees shown as a separate line and set by the DOJ and FBI. Onsite and high-volume pricing depends on team size and travel, so we quote it directly — no 15-person minimum and no setup fee.
Where are you located and what are your hours?
Our office is at 434 Blossom Hill Road, San Jose, CA 95123, open Monday–Friday 9:00 AM–6:00 PM, with Saturday and mobile visits by appointment. Mobile service covers anywhere in Northern California.
