Applicant FAQs
Where do I mail my application and supporting documentation to?
1601 Response Road, Suite 260, Sacramento, CA 95815
How do I submit fingerprints?
In-State:
If you are physically in California, submit the completed Live Scan Request form that is included with your application package.
To find a live scan location near you, visit this website:

Out-of-State:
If you are submitting fingerprints from out-of-state, submit two completed FD-258 fingerprint cards and an additional $49 processing fee (if not already paid online). Download a template for printing the FD-258 fingerprint card onto cardstock paper on our website.
Or call ahead to any fingerprinting location to see if they have FD-258 cards available on-site.
How can I check the status of my application?
Please allow at least four weeks from the date received for processing. During the Board's peak season (approximately May through October) processing times may increase. Processing time for incomplete applications may vary depending on when supporting documentation is received. You can check the status of your application by sending a message to the Board.
