ServicesLive scan technology allows digitally scanned fingerprints to be submitted electronically to the Department of Justice (DOJ) within a matter of minutes and allows criminal background checks to be processed usually within 72 hours. All results are sent directly, by DOJ, to the Requesting Agency within 2 weeks; only the Requesting Agency receives the results. | How The Process Works
*If your live scan is going to be paid by an on-campus department and you have a chartfield string, in most instances, you will not need to go to the Cashier's Office. |
Costs, Fees & PaymentAn application has two fees:
The rolling fee is set by the Cal Poly Humboldt Police Department. The pass-through fee(s) are set by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI). Additionally, other various fees may apply if your application requires additional checks through other various State and Federal databases. Depending on your application, the fees can cost anywhere from $0.00 to as high as $84.00. The cost of your application is unknown until the AORI code listed on your application is entered into the Live Scan device at the time of your appointment. Currently, the DOJ has set their pass-through fee at $32.00 and the Federal Bureau of Investigations has set their pass-through fee at $17.00. Please be advised that the DOJ and the FBI reserve their right to change their fees at any time without notice. All fees will be calculated when the Live Scan Operator enters the AORI code. Once the amount is known, the Live Scan Operator will provide a payment form that can be taken up to the Cashier's Office for payment. The fees must be paid prior to submitting your fingerprint transmission. Please make sure to bring the appropriate payment method with you to your appointment to pay for your fees. | Location & HoursOur live scan services are currently open by appointment only.Live scan fingerprinting services are done through the Cal Poly Humboldt Police Department, which is located on the 1st floor of the Student & Business Services Building.
