Live Scan Requirements

Live Scan Requirements

All priests, deacons, employees and volunteers who have regular contact with children are required to pass a criminal background check done through fingerprints.  This check is done via Live Scan and run through the Department of Justice (DOJ) of the State of California.  The diocese will Live Scan interested parties on a walk in basis ( see the following schedule below).  The cost to be fingerprinted at the diocese will be billed to the location where you work or volunteer.  You are required to bring a valid picture identification with you, i.e. a driver’s license, a California identification card or a passport.  If you have questions about what will qualify as valid identification, please contact Julie Sparacio at 707.566.3308.
