• When will the results be available? The Department of Justice sends all fingerprinting results directly to the requesting agency only. Results are not provided to the University Police Service Center; nor, are they provided to the individual. Contact your requesting agency regarding questions pertaining to receiving the results.
• My fingerprints were rejected, what do I do? If your fingerprints are rejected by the Department of Justice (DOJ), you will need to bring with you the rejection letter from the DOJ in order to have your fingerprints resubmitted. If your fingerprints were submitted at the Sacramento State University Police Service Center the $10.00 rolling fee will be waived. If you were fingerprinted at another Live Scan agency, per Department of Justice Standards, you will be charged a $10.00 rolling fee. All other fees will be waived by the DOJ.
• My department/agency doesn't receive fingerprint responses from DOJ. How do we get access to the responses? Your department/agency needs to become an applicant agency with DOJ. If your agency would like to have access to criminal background information for the purposes of hiring, volunteer, or certification purposes, please go the Department of Justice's Website to apply to become an Applicant Agency.
• It's been two weeks since I had an applicant get fingerprinted, and I haven't received a response from the DOJ. What do I need to do? The following comes directly from the California Department of Justice website: “While most Applicant Agencies receive results of background checks electronically from the state Department of Justice, some must receive reports by U.S. mail in a process that can take a minimum of seven days. To check on the status of Live Scan fingerprint submissions, call the Department of Justice's 24-hour automated system at (916) 227-4557. There is no automated system for checking on paper fingerprint card submissions.
• What info do I need to use the DOJ automated telephone system? To use the automated telephone system, you will need to have key information before making the call:

  2. the 10-digit Automated Transaction Identifier (ATI) number that appears at the bottom of the Department of Justice form requesting Live Scan fingerprint background checks (the ATI number always appears in the following sequence: 1 LETTER; 3 NUMBERS; 3 LETTERS and 3 NUMBERS).
  If you have submission problems or want to check the status of hard-card (paper) fingerprint submissions, contact the state Department of Justice Applicant Processing Program at (916) 227-3823.
