The California Department of Justice (DOJ) Live Scan Fingerprinting processing time usually comes back within 72 hours. However some delays do occur, for any significant delay the DOJ will contact the requesting agency.
The Live Scan results are either emailed or sent to the requesting agency listed on the Request for Live Scan Service form. Once the process has been completed at one of our California Live Scan Centers, please direct all inquiries to the agency handling your employment or licensing.
Checking your Live Scan results is simple, just call the Department of Justice (DOJ) at (916) 227-4557. Be sure to have your birth date and Automated Transaction Identifier (ATI) number available. The ATI number is at the bottom of the Applicant Live Scan Request form.
Once the call is made, you will be prompted to enter the ATI number; for the letters, enter the corresponding numbers. For your birth date, enter the two digit month, the two digit day, and the four digit year (MM/DD/YYYY).
The ATI number always appears in the following sequence: 1 LETTER; 3 NUMBERS; 3 LETTERS and 3 NUMBERS.
Individuals have the right to request a copy of their own criminal history record from the DOJ to review the information for accuracy and completeness.

Live Scan is a form of background check required by the state and federal governments; typically for state-issued licenses, employment, or volunteer work. It is also often required for (but not limited to) people who work or volunteer in positions of trust for populations such as vulnerable citizenry, the elderly, dependent adults and children.
The government will check submitted fingerprints against its database to retrieve an individual’s criminal record.
The Live Scan process helps in avoiding many of the problems associated with ink prints, such as smudging, smearing, and over or under inking. A major benefit of Live Scan is that your fingerprints are transmitted directly to the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice conducts a criminal background check, based on your fingerprints, results are sent within 72 hours to your employer or licensing agency.
