Livescan FAQ's

I have been fingerprinted before with a different Agency/Employer. My prints are in the System. May I use those results?
  • NO. The Department of Justice requires that each applicant be re-fingerprinted with every new application for employment. For your privacy and protection, personal background information cannot be shared between agencies.
May I get Livescan Fingerprinting done at a different agency?
  • YES. You may go to any Livescan agency that can transmit to the Department of Justice, electronically.
