What is Live Scan and Who Needs It?

Live Scan fingerprinting is a fast, inkless method used to capture fingerprints electronically and submit them directly to the California Department of Justice (DOJ) and/or the FBI for background checks.

Compared to traditional ink fingerprinting, Live Scan offers faster turnaround times, greater accuracy, and is widely accepted by licensing agencies and employers.

Who Needs Live Scan?

Live Scan is required by many employers and licensing boards across California. Some of the most common industries and organizations that require Live Scan fingerprinting include:

Teachers, school employees, and daycare workers
Healthcare professionals (nurses, caregivers, home health aides)
Real estate license applicants
Contractors and security guards
Foster and adoptive families
Volunteers working with children or vulnerable populations
Church and nonprofit staff and volunteers

What is AB 506?

AB 506 is a California law that took effect in 2022. It requires that administrators, employees, and volunteers of youth service organizations undergo Live Scan background checks.

This law helps ensure that individuals who work with or around minors are properly vetted and cleared before engaging in youth-related programs.

If your organization serves children, compliance with AB 506 is essential—and Mobile Business Center LLC is here to make that easy.
