In September of 2001, the Sheriff's Department began using the Livescan fingerprinting system. The Livescan fingerprint station is available to assist the public with the purposes of pre-employment.

Fingerprinting hours: 

Tuesdays, 8:00 am - 4:00 pm

Thursdays, 8:00 am - 4:00 pm

Livescan is done by appointment only. Appointments for Livescan can be made by calling (530) 668-5280.

 

WHAT TO BRING TO YOUR LIVESCAN APPOINTMENT:

  • A current and valid driver’s license (any state) or California Identification Card. If the applicant is under the age of 18 and does not have either form of identification, he/she must provide a birth certificate and a secondary form of photo ID, such as a School-issued ID or bus pass.

  • A “Request for Livescan Service” form (BCII 8016), provided by the requesting agency. You can obtain a "Request for Live Scan Service" form by contacting the Department of Justice at (916) 322-2209, or online at http://www.caag.state.ca.us/fingerprints. We DO NOT provide Livescan service forms. The applicant must provide an original triplicate form or an original form and two copies.

  • Cash, personal check, or money order to pay fees associated with Livescan service.

 

FEES FOR LIVESCAN FINGERPRINTING AND BACKGROUND CHECKS:

 

Fingerprinting Fees (Rolling Fees):  $11.00

The Yolo County Sheriff's Department Livescan site accepts personal checks, money orders and cash for payment of fees. A $25.00 fee, which will be payable by money order or cashier's check only, will be charged on all returned checks.

Background check fees:  

There are other fees associated with the background check through the Department of Justice (Child Abuse Index, Department of Social Services, FBI, etc.). For further information, please contact the California Department of Justice Livescan website.

These fees are either collected by the Livescan operator or billed to the applicant's agency. For the agency to be billed, they must have an AORI number with the Department of Justice and a billing number assigned. To obtain an AORI number from the California Department of Justice, contact Judy Kistner at (916) 227-3458. If no Deptartment of Justice account exists, the Livescan operator WILL collect the fees. 

 

WHAT WILL HAPPEN AT YOUR LIVESCAN APPOINTMENT:

 

The Livescan operator will enter your information from the submission form and capture the fingerprint images. The captured information is immediately transmitted to the Department of Justice over a data line.

The Livescan technicians do not process the applications. The fingerprints are forwarded to the Department of Justice. If the applicant has not heard back from their agency within 30 days, they should have their agency file an inquiry with the Dept. of Justice. The applicant should not contact the Livescan station. They do not have access to any records. Only the applicant's employer may contact DOJ.

If you are returning to be re-printed due to a DOJ or FBI rejection, you must bring a brand new form and a copy of the rejection notice with you. If you do not have a copy of the rejection notice with you, you will be re-charged the applicable fees. With the copy of the rejection notice, no additional fees will be charged.
