One office, every licensing board

Most fingerprinting offices treat every applicant the same way. We don’t. A nursing license needs a different DOJ form code than a real estate broker; a teacher renewal uses different routing than an immigration applicant. Knowing which codes apply is half the job — and rejection is expensive on a credentialing deadline.

For more than five years, our team has worked across healthcare, legal, real estate, education, faith communities, nonprofits, tech, finance, insurance, contracting, childcare, and federal employment. Walk in, or call us out for groups of 5 or more.

Why professionals choose us

One office that knows your industry

Our partner office, TrustPoint Disability and Legal Services, handles document drafting and disability-related matters when your case needs a related-services referral.

We know the form codes

Each licensing board uses different DOJ codes. We’ve processed thousands across nursing, real estate, education, FINRA, DRE, CSLB, and DOI — rejection from a wrong code is costly on a deadline.

Speed when it matters

Live Scan submitted same day, FBI Identity History Summary in 1 to 4 hours. Walk-in welcome — no waiting weeks for an appointment.

Trilingual on every visit

Our team speaks English, Spanish, and Vietnamese fluently — meaningful when an applicant’s licensing vocabulary doesn’t match their everyday vocabulary.

One office, every service

Live Scan, FBI, FD-258, mobile group, immigration, apostille, notary — all in one San Jose office. No bouncing between vendors when a case needs more than one piece.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions by industry

Do nurses, RNs, LVNs, and CNAs all use the same Live Scan code?
No. The California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN) uses a different code than the LVN/Psych Tech Board, and CNAs go through CDPH. We confirm the correct code from your application paperwork before submitting — saves you from a costly rejection.
Can a real estate agent or broker walk in without an appointment?
Yes. Bring your RE 237 Live Scan Service Request from the California DRE and a valid photo ID. Most agents are in and out in 15 minutes. For office-wide license renewals (5 or more agents), we come to you.
What do school districts and after-school programs need to know about AB 506?
AB 506 requires Live Scan background checks for all employees, administrators, and regular volunteers of youth-serving organizations. Name-based checks don’t qualify. We’re experienced with school district group sessions and AB 506 compliance for nonprofits.
Do you handle FINRA fingerprinting for broker-dealers and registered reps?
Yes. FINRA fingerprinting typically uses FD-258 ink cards submitted to FINRA via the Web CRD/IARD system. We provide Hard Cards or PrintScan-style submissions depending on your firm’s preference.
What about contractors? Do you keep CSLB Live Scan codes current?
Yes. We submit through the Contractors State License Board with current ORI and code references. Whether you’re a sole proprietor applying for a B General license or adding a specialty trade, the routing is correct on first submission.
Can our HR team set up an account for ongoing fingerprinting needs?
For ongoing volume, ORI numbers, and billing accounts, our sister site fingerscan-digital.com handles dedicated organizational accounts. For one-off groups of 5+, just call (408) 766-3528 for a quote on a mobile session.
Do you fingerprint immigration attorneys’ clients?
Yes — that’s a daily service for us. We provide FBI fingerprinting for immigration cases including RFE responses, moral character packages, I-601 waiver evidence, removal-defense exhibits, and asylum identity packets.
What if my industry isn’t listed above?
We process Live Scan for any California licensing board that uses one. Acupuncture, security guard, escrow, CPA, paramedic, pharmacy tech, physical therapist, massage therapist — if your application has a Live Scan request form, we can handle it. Call (408) 766-3528 with your form name to confirm.
