What advantages does Live Scan offer?
The Live Scan technology offers numerous benefits compared to traditional ink fingerprinting methods. It eliminates common issues such as smudging, smearing, and inconsistent inking. One significant advantage of Live Scan is that it enables direct transmission of your fingerprints to the Department of Justice. This direct transfer allows for a swift criminal background check process, as the Department of Justice utilizes the received fingerprints to conduct the check. The results are typically delivered to your employer or licensing agency within 24 to 48 hours.
What is Live Scan Fingerprinting? Live Scan Fingerprinting is a modern digital process used as a substitute for conventional ink fingerprinting in states where it is available. During Live Scan, an applicant’s fingerprints are securely transmitted to a government agency, which then employs an Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) to conduct a comprehensive criminal history background check.
Live Scan is often mandated by law for specific types of state-issued licenses, employment opportunities, and volunteer positions. It offers various advantages over ink fingerprinting, including superior image quality and faster result turnaround time.
TYPES OF ID’S ACCEPTED IN CALIFORNIA
Notary Guidelines for Accepting or Rejecting a Signer’s ID
Identifying signers is a critical responsibility for Notaries, as it ensures the integrity of the process. However, assessing the acceptability of a particular ID can pose challenges.
Given the wide range of ID types worldwide, it’s highly likely that Notaries will encounter unfamiliar IDs at some point. So, how can we determine if an ID is acceptable? The answer lies in the jurisdiction where the Notary is commissioned. Guidelines vary significantly from state to state, requiring Notaries to be well-versed in their respective state’s ID requirements. These guidelines dictate the level of judgment and discretion a Notary must exercise when accepting or rejecting an ID.
Certain states provide comprehensive lists of acceptable IDs for Notaries. For example, California has specific lists of IDs, and if an ID is not included, a Notary is prohibited from accepting it as proof of identity.
In California, Notaries are allowed to accept the following forms of identification, provided they are current or issued within the past 5 years:
• California driver’s license or nondriver’s ID
• U.S. passport (or passport card)
• Inmate identification card issued by the California Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation, if the inmate is in prison, or any form of
inmate identification issued by a sheriff’s department, if the inmate is
in custody in a local detention facility
Additionally, California permits the acceptance of the following IDs, provided they contain a photograph, signature, description of the person, and a serial or ID number, and are current or issued within the past 5 years:
Driver’s license or official nondriver’s ID issued by a U.S. state
Canadian or Mexican driver’s license issued by an appropriate public agency
U.S. military ID
Valid foreign passport from the applicant’s country of citizenship
Employee ID issued by an agency or office of a California city, county, or city and county
Identification card issued by a federally recognized tribal government
Valid consular identification document issued by a consulate from the applicant’s country of citizenship, meeting specific requirements (Please note: Matricula consular cards issued by the government of Mexico do not meet California’s statutory requirements.)
It’s important to note that the above information is based on the guidelines as of the provided date and is subject to change.IDs, provided they contain a photograph, signature, description of the person, and a serial or ID number, and are current or issued within the past 5 years:
