Who is affected by it?
Anyone applying for the first time with the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to be licensed as a vehicle salesperson, dealer, driving instructor, manufacturer, transporter, dismantler, registration service, distributor, lessor-retailer, remanufacturer, or any other vehicle industry relating to an occupational license issued by DMV is required to receive a Live Scan in order to conduct a criminal background check. This also applies to first time applicants for an ambulance driver certificate.

The applicant must go to a Live Scan site to be Live Scan fingerprinted before applying for an occupational license at DMV. If you have held an active Occupational License issued by DMV in the past 3 years, you may not require a new set of prints. But be sure to follow-up with your local DMV, as this information may change.

What the next step to be Live Scan fingerprinted?
The occupational licensing applicant can visit any of our Live Scan Fingerprinting Centers nearest to them to get fingerprinted. It’s strongly suggested that the applicant bring their Live Scan Request Form (DMV 8016) provided by the DMV office. The applicant can also call the DMV Licensing Operations Division Occupational Licensing Branch in Sacramento (916) 229-3126 or Los Angeles (213) 744-7563 and request that Live Scan request form be mailed.

If the licensee does not use the department’s Live Scan form, it is suggested he/she take a sample of the form with them to ensure the Live Scan site has all the information needed for transmitting the data to Occupational Licensing.

A sample of the California DMV’s Live Scan form can be found on our website under the “FORMS & LINKS” tab. To learn more contact us today, (888) 448-0848.
