Live Scan Fingerprinting

Services

Live scan technology allows digitally scanned fingerprints to be submitted electronically to the Department of Justice (DOJ) within a matter of minutes and allows criminal background checks to be processed usually within 72 hours.

All results are sent directly, by DOJ, to the Requesting Agency within 2 weeks; only the Requesting Agency receives the results.

How The Process Works

1. Start by booking an appointment online.
2. Check-in at the UPD Front Counter, located on the first floor of the Student Business Services (SBS) Building, at your scheduled appointment time.
3. After checking in for your appointment, the Live Scan technician will review your paperwork for the appropriate fees, and then you will be directed to pay at the Cashier's Office*.
4. Go to the Cashier's Office at the Student & Business Services Building, Room 285, 2nd floor, to make the payment: (707) 826-6789.
5. After paying the appropriate fees, return to the Live Scan office (with your receipt) to complete your fingerprinting.

*If your live scan is going to be paid by an on-campus department and you have a chartfield string, in most instances, you will not need to go to the Cashier's Office.

Method of Payment

Cash/Credit & Debit Card Payments

All applicants must check-in with the Live Scan technician BEFORE making any payments. The technician will provide the necessary payment form, along with the appropriate fees, once they have been matched up with the correct AORI code from the applicant's paperwork. All payments have to be made at the Cashier's Office at the Student & Business Services Building, Room 285, 2nd Floor.

On-Campus Billing

On-Campus Departments may request to have the rolling fee and the pass-through fee (i.e. DOJ/FBI fees) of prospective employees and/or volunteers, billed to their Department if they do not want their applicants to have to cover the fees associated with their application.

Please contact Cal Poly Humboldt Human Resources department for the correct form.

Please contact the Live Scan Office at livescan@humboldt.edu or 707-826-4654 for any billing questions.

Policies

While we provide the live scan fingerprinting service, it is the responsibility of the applicant to obtain the appropriate form(s) from their outside Requesting Agency to be fingerprinted.

The Cal Poly Humboldt Police Department does not provide the DOJ Request for Fingerprinting Services Form.

Please obtain the form from the Requesting Agency and check the instructions from your outside Requesting Agency, or Campus Department, to make sure you have the proper information on the form.

All fees are set by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and are subject to change without notice.
