Federal Fingerprinting provides California Live Scan fingerprinting, mobile and group fingerprinting, FBI background-check assistance, and ink card services. Search by city, state, or ZIP to compare offices, or request on-site service. Confirm the service, local availability, appointment rules, and your requesting agency's instructions before booking.
Use our location finder with your city, state, or ZIP code to compare nearby Federal Fingerprinting offices. Review the address, hours, available services, and appointment requirements before traveling. If an office is not convenient, ask about mobile fingerprinting at your location.
Tell us your city or ZIP code, required fingerprinting service, preferred date, and number of participants. We review local technician availability and the requesting agency's requirements before confirming a mobile appointment. A listed service area does not guarantee every service or time slot is available.
Bring valid, unexpired photo identification and the Request for Live Scan Service form supplied by your employer, licensing board, or other requesting agency. The agency provides its identifying information and specifies the required background check. Confirm the fee and office appointment rules before your visit.
No. Live Scan is a way to capture and electronically submit fingerprints. The agency receiving the prints determines the background-check purpose and how results are handled. California Live Scan and a personal FBI Identity History Summary are different request routes; choose the route your requesting organization requires.
Hours and appointment rules vary by location. Santa Clarita and Mount Vernon are by appointment only. Check the individual location page before traveling, and confirm that the office offers the service you need.
Your employer, licensing board, or other requesting agency controls the specific form, submission method, and instructions. Ask them before booking if you are unsure. A provider cannot choose an agency's ORI, background-check purpose, or result destination for you.
Appointment length and background-check turnaround are different. Time at the office varies by service and paperwork; the receiving agency controls its own processing. Ask about your specific appointment before you travel. Fingerprint capture does not guarantee clearance or a result date.
Employers, healthcare teams, schools, productions, and other organizations can request group fingerprinting at an office or suitable venue. Share the location, participant count, required service types, and agency instructions so we can review staffing, equipment, scheduling, and a custom quote. Each participant's submission must follow their requesting agency's requirements.
Do not assume a California Live Scan submission satisfies another state's requirements. Ask the requesting agency which fingerprint-card format or electronic submission route it accepts. FD-258 ink card services may be appropriate when that agency specifically requests cards.
