Step One (1) – Get the Live Scan request forms
If you are applying for employment, license, certificate or permit with an applicant agency requiring a background check, you must get the instructions and the Live Scan request forms required for fingerprinting services from the requesting agency. The agency will complete its information to ensure accuracy. You will need to add your personal information to the form before getting fingerprinted
- AngeliCare does provide access to some Live Scan forms via the Live Scan Forms link included on our webpage; however, it is highly recommended that you get the Live Scan forms directly from the requesting agency to insure accuracy.
Step Two (2) – Get fingerprinted
Once you have obtained the necessary Live Scan forms from the employment or licensing organization, contact AngeliCare and set-up an appointment.
Step Three (3) – Wait for the results
Once the submission is received and processed, the DOJ will respond to the applicant organization either electronically or via U.S. mail.
Note: AngeliCare only transmits the information to the DOJ and can be of no assistance in regards of the results. Please contact the applicant requesting organization regarding all result information.
Delays
While most of the time results are returned to the applicant agency within three days, delays can occur. Applicants should check, for the first seven days, with the applicant agency that requested the background review since the DOJ sends results directly to the applicant agency. Delays can be caused by poor fingerprint quality, the existence of any criminal information in the applicant’s record, birthdates before 1920, and incorrect data submitted on the electronic transaction.
24-hour Automated Telephone Service Available: 916-227-4557.
If a requesting agency does not have results within seven days and digital Live Scan fingerprints were submitted, you can use the automated telephone system to check on your submission. You will need the following information: (1) your date of birth; and (2) the 10-digit Automated Transaction Identifier (ATI) number that appears at the bottom of the Department of Justice form requesting Live Scan fingerprint background checks. The ATI number always appears in the following sequence: 1 LETTER; 3 NUMBERS; 3 LETTERS and 3 NUMBERS.
