Live Scan Starts With the Requesting Agency
Most Live Scan visits begin before you arrive at the fingerprinting location. The employer, licensing board, school, volunteer organization, or requesting agency usually tells you which background check is needed and provides the Request for Live Scan Service form. The California DOJ forms page lists the BCIA 8016 request form and other Live Scan forms used by applicant agencies.
NITRA Agency provides Live Scan fingerprinting in Hawaiian Gardens for employment, licensing, volunteering, and background check requests with DOJ/FBI routing. The office is at 21130 Norwalk Blvd, Hawaiian Gardens, CA 90716.
Bring These Items
For a smoother visit, bring:
- Completed Request for Live Scan Service form from the requesting agency
- Valid photo identification
- Any agency billing number, ORI, mail code, or applicant agency instructions
- The exact name and personal information requested on the form
- Payment method for rolling fees and any applicable government processing fees
- A phone number or email for the requesting agency if the form is unclear
The DOJ guidance for fingerprinting notes that applicants must present valid photo identification and that expired identification information is not accepted. Fees can vary by location and by the type of background check requested, so confirm the total before the fingerprints are submitted.
Do Not Guess on the ORI or Agency Code
The ORI, agency billing number, and mail code tell the system where the background check should go. If those fields are wrong or missing, the Live Scan operator may not be able to complete the submission correctly. When in doubt, contact the requesting agency before visiting.
This matters for teachers, healthcare workers, security applicants, real estate licensing, volunteers, and anyone submitting fingerprints for a specific agency purpose. The fingerprinting site captures and submits the fingerprints, but the requesting agency controls the reason for the check and the form details.
Hawaiian Gardens Visit Details
NITRA's Hawaiian Gardens Live Scan hours are listed as Monday through Friday from 10AM to 5PM and Saturday from 10AM to 2PM. Walk-ins are welcome during business hours, and the team can review the form before submission so obvious missing fields are caught early.
If your agency gave you digital instructions only, bring the email or printed form so the team can see the full agency information. If the agency requires a specific form version, use that form rather than trying to recreate it from memory.
