HOW LONG IT TAKES TO COMPLETE YOUR LIVE SCAN

Now more than ever, companies and agencies are requiring people to complete a live scan before they offer any type of employment, permit, or specialized certification, such an IHSS Provider, teaching clearance, nursing license , security or to hold a professional license of sort.

Perhaps you've taken a live scan fingerprinting in the past or if this is your first time, you may be wondering How long is the Turn-Around Time for results of your live scan?

First, you'll need to understand what is a live scan, what it reveals about your background check and we'll also let you know the cost of your live scan,too.

WHAT IS LIVE SCAN

Live Scan Fingerprinting is the process of electronically capturing your fingerprints then submitting them to California Dept of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in order to obtain a criminal background check record, if any.

The results of your Criminal Background Check Record, is then submitted ONLY to your employer or requesting agency.

Sorry, copies of the results will NOT be sent to you or to the live scan office.

If you wish to get a copy of your results, you'd have to pay and take a separate live scan called a California Record Review.

KEY TAKEAWAY:

Live Scan is the method used to get your criminal background check to your employer or requesting agency.

WHAT A LIVE SCAN'S BACKGROUND CHECK REVEAL ABOUT YOU

Getting a live scan quickly allows employers or a requesting agency to view the results of your Criminal Background Check and assist them in making an informed decision on candidates for employment, license , certifications and immigration, among other things.

The following are a few things that a live scan background check reveal and why it's important to employers/requesting agencies:

Background checks reveals if there is a criminal history and verifies identities.

Background checks reveals if there are improper professional behaviors for those trying to obtain professional licenses. For example, acts of embezzlement or endangering the lives of others.

Background checks are needed because employers could be held liable for damages for unacceptable acts their employees might do during employment.

KEY TAKEAWAY:

Employers rely on the information revealed on your background check report to make a hiring decision or issue a certification.

HOW LONG IS THE TURN AROUND TIME FOR RESULTS ?

For those looking to start work or obtain a license as-soon-as-possible, the traditional method of fingerprinting with ink can usually take up to 30 to 45 days for your employer/requesting agency to get your results.

The beauty of taking a live scan fingerprinting is that the turnaround time for results is much faster, usually a week for some people and a couple of days for most people!

We must clarify: Understand, the live scan usually get your background check results to employers and requesting agencies in a matter of days or sooner.

There is one factor worth mentioning: Once the results are in their hands, they may have their own Processing Times to review your records depending on what they are looking for, which can take them anywhere from a few minutes, hours or weeks before they officially grant you a job or issue you a license or certification.

(Processing Times are at the discretion of the employers or requesting agencies, NOT the live scan facility.)

KEY TAKEAWAY:

The Average Turn Around Time for live scan results is usually 5 to 7 days for some people and 1 or 2 days for most people.

DELAYS: FEW REASONS FOR POSSIBLE DELAYS IN RESULTS

Typically 9 out of 10 People who take a live scan won't experience a delay in their employer/agencies getting their results longer than a week. As for those who do experience delays, the most common reasons for delays results are:

DOJ/FBI may have to filter the correct result for those who share common names or those who have alias such as maiden names.
Some people fingerprints may be worn or suffer from excessive sweating which may smear or make prints illegible.

Our Live Scan Techs strives to capture the best impressions for those who have dry, rough or sweaty fingers to avoid this delay.

KEY TAKEAWAY:
