Your request form
ORI number
This code tells us which agency receives your results. Your organization fills it in before handing you the form — if the box is blank, ask them for it before you come.

Most youth organizations use the BCIA 8016 applicant submission form.

The short answer

What AB 506 means if you volunteer

If you volunteer, coach, teach, or work anywhere that serves children under 18 in California, AB 506 requires you to complete a fingerprint-based Live Scan background check before you start. A name-based check does not satisfy the law. Your organization gives you a request form carrying its ORI number; you bring that form to a certified Live Scan provider, get printed, and your results go straight to the California Department of Justice and the FBI. You never see a certificate — the clearance is reported back to the organization that requested it.

We handle that middle step. AB 506 fingerprinting San Jose volunteers can walk in Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM, at 434 Blossom Hill Road. No appointment is required, though booking guarantees your slot.

Before you come

What to bring with you

Everything you need for AB 506 fingerprinting San Jose fits in one hand: your form, your ID, and a way to pay. Turning up without the first one is the single most common reason people have to come back.

Required

  • The request form from your organization, with the ORI number filled in
  • Valid government photo ID — driver licence, state ID, passport, or permanent resident card
  • Payment: cash, credit, or debit

Helpful, not essential

  • The name and phone number of your volunteer coordinator, in case a code needs checking
  • Any previous Live Scan receipt, if you have been printed for another organization

If your organization has an account with the Department of Justice, you may owe only our rolling fee. Ask before you come.

Why volunteers come here

No guesswork, no second trip

We read the form for you

If the ORI or application type looks wrong, we catch it before submission rather than after a rejection.

Common questions

AB 506 Live Scan, answered

Do I need an appointment for AB 506 fingerprinting?
No. Walk in Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM, at 434 Blossom Hill Road in San Jose. Booking online guarantees a time if your deadline is tight, but it is not required.
How much does AB 506 fingerprinting cost?
Our rolling fee is $50. The California DOJ and FBI charges depend on the application type on your form and are set by those agencies; they are collected at your visit and remitted to them. If your organization holds a DOJ billing account, you may owe only the rolling fee.
What do I bring to my AB 506 Live Scan appointment?
Bring the request form your organization gave you with the ORI number filled in, a valid government photo ID, and payment. Without the ORI number we cannot route your results to the right agency.
How long does AB 506 Live Scan take?
The visit itself is usually about 15 minutes. Results transmit electronically the same day; how quickly the Department of Justice reports back to your organization depends on their processing queue.
Can I use my Live Scan clearance for another organization?
No. An AB 506 clearance is not transferable. Each organization has its own ORI number and must request its own check, so if you volunteer in two places you will need to be printed for each.
Does a name-based background check meet AB 506?
No. AB 506 requires a fingerprint-based Live Scan check for administrators, employees, and regular volunteers of youth-serving organizations. A name-based check does not qualify.
My form has no ORI number. Can you still print me?
We can capture the prints, but they cannot be submitted without an ORI. Ask your volunteer coordinator for the number before you come so you only make one trip.
