What to bring to your Live Scan appointment

By TrustedShield · Last reviewed

Bring a valid government-issued photo ID, the ORI number and reason code from your screening instructions, your Social Security number, and any forms your employer or licensing board gave you.

The checklist

  • A valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license, state ID or passport
  • Your ORI number and reason code
  • Your Social Security number. Missing details are a common reason a screening gets held up
  • Any forms or instructions from your employer, school district or board

Before you go

  • Do any step your employer asks for first. Some healthcare employers start your screening in AHCA's Clearinghouse before you're fingerprinted.
  • Check that the name on your ID matches the name on your paperwork.
  • Skip heavy hand lotion right before your visit.

For a group or mobile visit

Everyone being printed needs their own ID and their own ORI and reason code. Coworkers often share the same ORI if they're screened for the same employer.

Official sources

Rules and processing times can change. Always follow the instructions from the agency that asked for your fingerprints.
