CAN I USE A PREVIOUS LIVESCAN TRANSACTION TO PROVIDE TO A NEW EMPLOYER OR AGENCY? 


  • No, The requesting Livescan Agency/Employer will require a new Livescan with their own specific ORI Code. The Agency/Employer should provide their applicants with the appropriate Livescan form.

Frequently Asked Questions.

  • No. California Penal Code section 11142 prohibits you from giving a copy of your criminal record to an unauthorized third party. In addition, California Penal Code section 11125 prohibits an individual or agency from requiring you to provide him/her or the agency with a copy of your criminal record or proof that a record does or does not exist. Violation of either of these sections is a misdemeanor offense.

MY EMPLOYER IS ASKING FOR A COPY OF MY CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORD, CAN I GIVE IT TO THEM?

  • Section 1203.4 does not obliterate the fact that a defendant has been "finally adjudged guilty of a crime." It merely frees the convicted felon from certain "penalties and disabilities" of a criminal or like nature.

I OBTAINED AN EXPUNGEMENT PURSUANT TO PENAL CODE SECTION 1203.4 FOR AN OFFENSE, WHY IS IT STILL ON MY RECORD?

CAN MY REQUEST BE EXPEDITED FOR AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE?

  • No. Unfortunately, the DOJ does not offer an expedited process.
  • Please allow a minimum of seven days before making a status inquiry. Applicants should check first with the applicant agency that requested the background review since the DOJ sends results directly to the applicant agency. Poor quality fingerprints, records that contain criminal information, or erroneous information submitted on the fingerprint transaction may delay the reporting of results.
