Live Scan operator selects both the DOJ and FBI levels of service in their computer system. If FBI
is not selected at the time of original transmission, you will be required to have your Live Scan
redone at another time and repay for the DOJ and FBI levels of services again. The board has
been notified by the DOJ that effective 9/1/07, if the FBI level of service is not requested at the
time of original transmission both DOJ and FBI levels of service will have to be redone. Any
issue of cost for resubmission should be handled at the Live Scan Site level.
Employer: This information is not required.
Take the completed form to your nearest Live Scan site for fingerprint scanning. There are
more than 130 Live Scan sites throughout the state. An up-to-date Live Scan site list is on the
Department of Justice's (DOJ) Internet web page at https://oag.ca.gov/fingerprints/locations or
call your local police or sheriff's department.
Contact the live scan service for hours of operation, an appointment (if necessary), acceptable
forms of payment and identification requirements. Be prepared to pay ALL applicable fees (DOJ
processing fee of $32, FBI processing fee of $17, and fingerprint scanning service fee) at the
time your prints are taken. The live scan fingerprinting service fee varies from about $5 to $20.
The cost to electronically submit your fingerprints is determined by the local Live Scan agency
and the agency can charge a fee sufficient to recover its costs. The lower portion of the Request
for Live Scan Service form must be completed by the live scan operator. The original of the form
is retained by the scanning service; the second copy is to be attached to your application and
submitted to the board; and the third copy is for your records.
FINGERPRINTING AUTHORITY
Section 144(b) of the Business and Professions Code authorizes the Board of Pharmacy to
require an applicant for licensure to furnish a full set of fingerprints for purposes of conducting

checks for criminal convictions.
