Live Scan is the process of capturing your fingerprints directly into an ink less, digital format. Live Scan technology replaces the process of recording an individual's fingerprint patterns through a rolling process using ink.
Rolled ink fingerprints would become smudged through handling and mailing, causing prints to become illegible. This slowed the process of criminal background clearances to a period of WEEKS and MONTHS. The Live Scan process gets results to the employer or licensing agency within days.
Your fingerprint images are captured digitally and then transmitted to a central location at the California Department of Justice, or FBI database, for identification processing. The fingerprints are electronically transmitted in a matter of seconds, instead of the days required to send hard copy fingerprint cards through the U. S. Mail.
Live Scan systems provide a means for individuals to produce consistent high quality fingerprint images, thereby reducing rejection rates and saving time and money in processing. The image-capture process features a preview capability, allowing each fingerprint to be displayed in real-time during capture, providing immediate verification of the quality of the fingerprint image.
