Do you need to be fingerprinted or live scanned for a background check? Stanislaus State Police Department provides Live Scan and fingerprint services to the general public and by appointment only. Stanislaus State Police Department is located in Turlock, CA. Many employers, both public and private, are required to perform background checks.
Our Automated Fingerprint and Live Scan system completes such background checks by comparing fingerprints received against a database of criminal fingerprints to determine if there is a criminal record.
Low cost Live Scan and fingerprinting services have never been so easy in the city of Turlock.
Securing a criminal background check prior to employment, licensure, or certification provides a hiring or licensing authority an important resource, which aids in the evaluation of the applicant. These applicants are often candidates for positions that place them in a position of trust for some of California’s most vulnerable citizenry, elderly, and dependent adults and children. As such, it is vital for the hiring or licensing authority to be aware of specified active arrests or convictions. Entrusting applicants with the responsibility of the position prior to a criminal background check potentially jeopardizes the safety and integrity of the workplace and may leave some individuals exposed to unnecessary harm. Employment and licensing authorities may also face legal liability if applicants with specified active arrests or convictions are employed or licensed when statute prohibits such action based on the successful completion of a criminal background check.
If an FBI criminal background check is requested, the fingerprint images are forwarded to the FBI to perform a fingerprint-based search of records in the national criminal history database. If the applicant’s fingerprints match fingerprints in the national criminal history database, the FBI sends the DOJ a cumulative RAP sheet that contains criminal history information from any states or federal agencies that have reported the information to the FBI. If there is not a matching disposition for every out-of-state or federal arrest, the DOJ is again mandated by statute to perform the “genuine effort” to obtain the missing disposition information, just as with California arrests that are missing disposition information. Once the “genuine effort” is fulfilled, a DOJ technician must review the updated Rap sheet and prepare the background check response according to the statutory dissemination criterion.
The Applicant Background Check Status provides the applicant with a simplistic view of the fingerprint background check status; this status should not be construed as indication of the employment or licensing status. The review of an applicant’s criminal history is only one piece of an agency’s process in making a suitability determination. The Applicant Background Check Status is located at: applicantstatus.doj.ca.gov. The ATI Number and Date of Birth are required to perform a search.

California State University, Stanislaus students will need a Live Scan fingerprint clearance for various reasons: to enter into the K-12 educational systems, for Teacher Credentialing, tutoring, observation, and for employment on campus.
Clearances are received by the University Police Department and remain on file as long as the student remains enrolled (max six years). A request for Live Scan form is available in our office at the time of service. Students will not need to be fingerprinted for other campus courses as long as the student has uninterrupted enrollment. The clearance is valid at both the Turlock and Stockton campuses.
Clearances are received by the Credential Office. Privacy laws require the Credential office to maintain their own clearance records. Therefore, students with previous clearances on file with the University Police Department are required to be live scanned for the Credential office. Bring the Request for Live Scan form provided by the Credential Office.
