    Overview 

     
    Livescan is a system for the electronic submission of applicant fingerprints to the State of California, Department of Justice.  Livescan technology replaces the process of recording an individual’s fingerprint patterns manually through a rolling process using ink and a standard fingerprint card.  Fingerprints can be digitized through an electronic process (Livescan), enabling the electronic transfer of the fingerprint image data, in combination with personal descriptor information, to central computers at the Department of Justice.  This transfer takes place in a matter of seconds, instead of the days required to send hard copy cards through the U.S. mail.  Livescan submissions are responded to by electronic mail, and/or U.S. mail.  The Department of Justice will also coordinate other electronic processes resulting from the automated submissions of fingerprints, including forwarding the fingerprints to the FBI (if required).  Resource: State of California - Department of Justice - Attorney General)
