Your fingerprints will be submitted to Cal-DOJ immediately and typical Cal-DOJ turn-around time is only a few hours. Virtually all of the fingerprint background check transactions are completed within 48 hours. However, some transactions can take several days due to poor fingerprint quality and on rare occasions when searching decades old fingerprint records are necessary, it can take up to a couple of weeks.

Your transaction should be submitted to Cal-DOJ within 24 hours from the time of your fingerprinting session. Click on the Transaction History link to view the latest Status and the ATI (your transaction ID). If the transaction Status shows “Completed”, it means your Live Scan transaction has been successfully submitted to Cal-DOJ and an SCN tracking number will be assigned by Cal-DOJ after receipt of your transaction. We do not have additional information beyond Cal-DOJ assigned SCN tracking number. However, if your transaction does not reflect a “Completed” status after 24 hours from the time of your fingerprinting session; please email us at support@applicantservices.com. Please include your name, date of the transaction, and the Payment ID in your email inquiry.
