Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a Live Scan fingerprinting appointment take?
Most Live Scan appointments take about 10 to 15 minutes, including ID verification and electronic fingerprint capture. The exact time can vary depending on how many applications you're submitting.
How long does it take to get Live Scan results?
It depends on the agency. Many state background checks are completed within about 24 to 72 hours, while FBI checks typically take around 3 to 5 business days. Some results come back the same day, and others may take longer if a manual review is required.

We offer appointments and may be able to accommodate walk-ins depending on the day and time. We recommend calling ahead to confirm our hours and whether an appointment is needed for your visit.
How much does Live Scan fingerprinting cost?
Live Scan pricing includes a fingerprint rolling (operator) fee plus any required state or FBI government fees, which vary by your application type. Contact us for an exact quote for your specific background-check requirement.
