Notice Regarding Live Scan Forms

As of September 1, 2009, the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services will no longer supply hard copies of the Live Scan Forms. The Live Scan forms are available on our website at http://www.bsis.ca.gov/forms_pubs/livescan/index..shtml.

You must use the Live Scan forms provided on our website as they have the required Agency and code information. You must use the specific Live Scan form for the type of license, permit, certificate and or registration (i.e. Alarm Company Operator, Alarm Agent Registration, Private Investigator License, etc.) for which you are applying. The completed form will print in triplicate. Take all three copies to the Live Scan site. The first copy will be kept by the Live Scan operator, the second copy must be submitted with the application to the Bureau and the third copy is for your records.

See Live Scan Instructions for more information: http://www.bsis.ca.gov/forms_pubs/livescan/use.shtml.

Failure to use the Live Scan forms on the Bureau's website, with the appropriate Agency and code information, will delay the processing and issuance of a license. If you use the wrong form you will be required to resubmit the correct Live Scan forms and pay the scanning fee again.
