Price

Be prepared to pay a total of between $45 to $145, including DOJ/FBI fees and rolling fee. 

Or, around $350 if for a Secondhand Dealer/Pawnbroker license.

Check if the Request for Live Scan form you were given has a Billing Number listed. If so, your cost is only the rolling fee (the California DOJ will bill the agency/business/organization directly for DOJ/FBI fees).

Multiple Applicants, Discounts, Other Locations

For events in which multiple people are to be fingerprinted, the Live Scan Guy is willing to travel most anywhere in Northern California. Call (925) 580-2795 to discuss the per person fees, possible discounts, and other costs or charges.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING

DOJ and FBI Fees Will Normally Come to Between About $15 to $110

The California DOJ and/or FBI have their own fees, collected at the time of the Live Scan along with the rolling fee (unless a Billing Number is included on the Request for Live Scan form). Their combined fees for most Live Scans vary from about $15 to $110, depending on why the background check is being requested. Those fees will be determined during the fingerprinting session, based on the Request for Live Scan form (click here for the price list on the DOJ website).

Therefore, including DOJ/FBI fees and the rolling fee, be prepared to pay between $40 to $140 for a Live Scan in Pleasanton or Dublin (or, up to $350 if for a Secondhand Dealer/Pawnbroker license). Cost may vary depending on factors listed below.

Rolling Fee Explained

The rolling fee is the amount AngelVetting will charge you in addition to the DOJ/FBI fees. A rolling fee is the price charged for the service of rolling fingerprints.

AngelVetting’s rolling fee is $30 anywhere in Pleasanton or Dublin (except Pleasanton addresses north of 580 or in Ruby Hills).

Other Live Scan providers nearby charge up to twice as much as AngelVetting. Go ahead, click here and compare on the official California DOJ website (providers listed alphabetically by city name).

Distance Charge for Travel Beyond Pleasanton/Dublin

A distance charge is added to the fee to cover driving time and expense. It is calculated according to the drive time from the intersection of 580 and 680. This increased cost can be negotiated, so call (925) 580-2795 and explain where you are and if you are a business/organization who may need future Live Scans. Discounts may be given when multiple applicants are fingerprinted or for a regular customer.

The price increases by $10 for any location beyond the borders of Dublin or Pleasanton (including Pleasanton addresses north of 580 and Ruby Hills). 

The price moreover increases an additional $1 per mile or per minute of drive time (whichever is greater) from the 580/680 intersection, one way according to Google maps.

Be There at the Time Scheduled to Avoid a Late Fee

If you arrive at the designated meeting place late (or later than The Live Scan Guy arrives, if he arrives late), $1 per minute will be charged to you as a late fee. The Live Scan Guy doesn’t want to charge any extra, but in order to keep the Live Scan at a low price, time cannot be wasted.

Even with the additional distant fee, AngelVetting’s price may be lower than Live Scan providers near you.

However, if you want to save some money, The Live Scan Guy is willing to meet you at a public location closer to or within the borders of Pleasanton/Dublin. Either call (925) 580-2795 to discuss that, or click here to schedule a time and place.

$180 per hour Consulting Fee

If you are a church or other organization that has workers or volunteers who interact with children, you need an account with the California DOJ so you can get fingerprint background checks done. The Live Scan Guy is available to consult with you to make you aware of the California law AB506 and to help you fill out the necessary application with the California DOJ.

The consultation is merely based on The Live Scan Guy’s experience helping other churches fill out these applications. The consultation does not guarantee the DOJ will approve the application.

The Live Scan Guy is not a lawyer, and any consultation given, whether paid for or not, is not consultation about legal requirements, and this service is not intended as nor is it to be construed as legal advice.
