Why California Live Scan is so hard to get from Idaho


California agencies want fingerprints captured electronically on a Live Scan system. Most places outside California can't do that, so they hand you a paper process instead. That's where people lose weeks.

Somebody else mails it off for you. You wait. It sits in a queue. Then it comes back rejected because the print quality wasn't good enough, or a box on the form was filled in wrong, and you start the whole thing over — with your licence deadline that much closer.

I skip that entirely. I own the Live Scan equipment. Your prints are captured electronically at your kitchen table, they go straight to my California partner agency as a digital file, and that agency submits them in California. Nothing gets printed onto a card. Nothing goes in the mail.

How the Live Scan appointment works


  1. You book

    Call, text, or use the form. Tell me where you are and when works.

  2. I come to you

    Home, office, or wherever you are in Ada or Canyon County. About 30 to 45 minutes.

  3. Prints captured and sent

    I check your ID, review your form so nothing gets kicked back, and capture your prints on my Live Scan system. They transmit electronically to my California partner agency the same day.

  4. California processes it

    My partner agency submits to the state. Most results come back to the requesting agency in about three to four days.

What it costs


One person

$349

All-inclusive. Nothing added at the appointment.

Two or more, same stop

$299 each

Everyone needs their forms ready and a valid photo ID at the appointment.

If your agency's required fees come to more than $75, you pay only the difference, and I confirm that with you before anything is submitted. Credit or debit card, cash, or a company check made out to Idaho Notary Signing Agent, LLC. No personal checks.

What to have ready


Not sure whether your form is right? Bring it anyway. Checking it before anything is sent is part of what you're paying for, and it's the single biggest reason submissions get rejected.

Questions people actually ask


Do I have to travel to California?

No. That's the whole point of this service. Your prints are captured here in Idaho and sent electronically to my California partner agency, which handles the submission in California.

Are you the government, or the California DOJ?

No. Idaho Mobile Notary Signing Agent, LLC is a private business. I am not a government agency and I'm not affiliated with the California Department of Justice. I capture your fingerprints and route them to a California partner agency that submits them. The state decides the outcome, not me.

How long until I get results?

The appointment takes 30 to 45 minutes and your prints go out the same day. Most results are returned about three to four days after submission, though the requesting agency's own processing time can vary.

Where do my results go?

Straight to the agency or employer that requested the check. They usually don't come to you, and they don't come to me. If you want to see your own record, California has a process for requesting your own criminal record review.

Can you tell me what's on my record?

No, and neither can the technicians at the Department of Justice — they're prohibited from discussing records or giving legal advice over the phone. I capture prints. I'm not an attorney and nothing here is legal advice.

What if my fingerprints are hard to read?

It happens, especially with age, certain jobs, and some medications. I carry ridge enhancement fluid and I'd rather take an extra ten minutes at your table than have your submission bounce back a week later.

How far will you travel?

Ada and Canyon County, roughly 20 miles out from Meridian, and travel is already in the price. If you're outside that, call me and we'll figure it out.

Can you do a whole group at one stop?

Yes, and that's where it gets cheaper — $299 each as soon as there are two of you. Everyone needs their own valid photo ID and their own completed form ready when I arrive.

Let's get this off your plate.

If you're up against a licence deadline, call. That's the fastest way to get this scheduled.
