Request for
Live Scan Forms & Information

To complete your Live Scan in California, please bring a copy of the appropriate Request for Live Scan Form—without it, we won’t be able to process your scan.

Be sure to confirm with your organization, licensing body, or employer that you have the correct form, and double-check that your personal information is accurate. This helps prevent any issues or delays.

As an example, if you're a teacher applying to several institutions—such as San Diego State or Southwestern College—each may require its own specific form, which you'll need to obtain directly from them or through their HR department.

We’re here to help, but it’s up to you to bring the correct form along with a valid photo ID, such as a driver’s license, Real ID, or passport.

For your convenience, we’ve included some commonly used DOJ Live Scan forms below.
