STATE OF CALIFORNIA – DEPARTMENT OF FINANCIAL PROTECTION AND INNOVATION
NOTICE OF FINGERPRINT PROCESSING REQUIREMENT UNDER THE CALIFORNIA
RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE LENDING ACT
DFPI-MBL 1950.122c (Rev. 12-20)
The Applicant Live Scan program is a system for the electronic submission of fingerprints
and the subsequent automated background check and response. The response time
from the Department of Justice when using the Applicant Live Scan program is faster with
fewer rejections. The Department of Justice now requires that all applicants submit
fingerprints through the Applicant Live Scan program. Applicants can now download the
triplicate form for the Request for Live Scan Service from the Department’s website at
www.dfpi.ca.gov.
The applicant must take the three-part form to a live scan location to have their fingerprints
taken by the operator. The applicant’s fingerprints will be transmitted electronically to the
Department of Justice for processing. The applicant will be required to pay the fees
charged by the Department of Justice for processing the fingerprints directly to the live
scan operator.
Please go to the Attorney General’s website at: https://oag.ca.gov/fingerprints/locations
for current information concerning the location of live scan terminals. You may also call
