As a result of legislation passed in late 1997, the California Department of Justice("DOJ") has developed an automated background check process that requires digitized fingerprints, called Live Scan. Live Scan is an inkless fingerprinting process. The fingerprints are electronically transmitted to the central computers at the DOJ in a matter of seconds, instead of the days required to send hard copy fingerprint cards through the mail. 1, record 1, English, - Live%20Scan
