Livescan Santa Barbara - Livescan & Ink Card Fingerprinting

APPOINTMENT REQUIRED FOR ALL SERVICES. PLEASE BOOK HERE.

Live scan Santa Barbara is the number one place to get Live Scan fingerprinted in Santa Barbara. Why wait up to a month for a government agency to get around to being able to assist you? We understand your time is valuable and we will get your prints processed and send you on your way in no time. Live Scan Santa Barbara also offers manual submission to the FBI through ink card fingerprinting and electronic submission through our affiliates at Applicant Services. If you need an FBI Ink card and a live scan, as is common for Immigration applicants, we can do both. We use an ink-less ink, but if there is any residue left on your hands we have a restroom for you to wash up.

Our office is conveniently located in downtown Santa Barbara in the State of California Building with a large private parking lot on the side of the building. If you drive past the entrance and park in the side parking lot, near the rear of the building is a double door side entrance and we are just straight ahead in suite #15. Don’t mind the Keypad entry as the door is not locked and you are in the correct place.

Appointments are required which can be booked online here. However, if you prefer we come to you, that’s not a problem either. We can perform mobile live scan services where ever you need us whenever you need us. Give us a call at (805) 525-6800 and we’ll get you taken care of today.

Agencies with Multiple Employees / Volunteers

For agencies looking to get their employees and volunteers live scanned, we offer billing accounts with Net 30 invoicing that allow you to receive a monthly statement with each individual listed by name. This is very helpful with reducing paperwork for those sending each candidate with a check or reimbursing them one by one. If you are interested in setting up an account, please contact us via phone (805) 525-6800 or e-mail to: prints@livescansantabarbara.com

Live Scan Fingerprinting

Live Scan Santa Barbara is certified by the Department of Justice to provide Live Scan fingerprinting services throughout California. We provide live scan fingerprinting services in Santa Barbara County. You can make an appointment to come to our office or we can come to you.

This is an easy affordable way to quickly get live scan fingerprinting that is necessary to obtain a job, get a record review, or satisfy State requirements. Our state-of-the-art live scan fingerprinting system can digitally capture your fingerprints, and then immediately transmit them electronically to the State Department of Justice in Sacramento. The process is quick and painless and we will have your fingerprints scanned and submitted in minutes. In order to get fingerprinted, please have the following:

You MUST have a Request for Live Scan Fingerprinting Services form – this is provided to you by the requesting agency along with any instructions since different forms are used for each agency.
A VALID (non-expired) government-issued photo ID Card (e.g. DMV Driver’s License or ID, Passport, Military ID Card, Alien Registration Card/Green Card Photo ID Card).

What you should know concerning Live Scan Fingerprinting:

A Social Security Card is not normally required in most cases. If unsure, please check with your employment or licensing agency.
Live Scan Santa Barbara is not allowed to assist applicants in filling out their Request for Live Scan Service form. The California Department of Justice rules forbid us from assisting you on your application. If your information is incomplete or if you have a question, we must refer you back to your employment or licensing agency.
Fingerprints are rejected by the Department of Justice on occasion for several reasons. The most common reasons are that the applicant’s fingerprints have characteristics that are difficult to capture in the live scan process, like cuts, scars and calluses. If an applicant has fingerprints rejected on this basis, and they were originally scanned by Live Scan Santa Barbara, we will re-scan and resubmit your fingerprints at no additional charge. If they were not originally submitted by Live Scan Santa Barbara, you will be responsible for the processing fees.
Please note that correcting information on the form is not a re-submission, nor is being fingerprinted for another employment or licensing agency.
To be processed in California you must be physically present in California – you must not be outside the state. Live Scan Santa Barbara’s services are not available for individuals needing Live Scan fingerprinting in other states.
