Charges for Live Scan Fingerprinting

With Live Scan, there is two separate fees. One fee is our rolling fee, which can be as low as $45ii. The other fee is for DOJ, FBI and other Government Agencies. This fee can vary depending on the Live Scan request form you bring. If there is a billing number on your form, then you are simply responsible for just the rolling fee. Some types of live scans are Government fee exempt, too.

In order for any live scan processor to give you accurate charges, they need to see the live scan requesting form and add the data in live scan device for the system to show total fees. Some agencies requiring your live scan may also know government fees (DOJ, FBI, Child Card, Fire Arm, etc.) and share with you. At that point only other variable that affect your total is rolling fees.
