LIVESCAN:

"LiveScan" refers to the use of a computer-based device which directly reads the fingerprint patterns of a subject. The prints are collected into an electronic medium from a person's fingers rather than being read from a rolled ink card. The fingerprint image, along with the demographic information about the subject, is immediately transmitted electronically to a central data-base for print comparison. Live-Scan results are usually returned within 72 hour

NO INK PRINTS:

Effective July 1, 2005, Penal Code section 11077.1 mandates the Department of Justice only accept electronically-transmitted fingerprint images from regulatory entities performing background investigations of applicants. FD-258 fingerprint cards will not be submitted after July 1, 2006.

Fees:

The fees are set up by the CA DOJ by the level of service requested by the agency requesting the livescan. .

CSU East Bay Police also charges $20 aside from your livescan DOJ fee as a service fee. 

For more information, check with the agency (employer) requesting your fingerprints. (We do not provide LiveScan applications for non-csueb applicants.)
