You must submit California Live Scan (criminal background check) before start of the program. Here are the steps to do Live Scan. PLEASE READ THESE CAREFULLY.
✅ Step 1: Print the Live Scan Form
Download and print both pages of the Live Scan Form.
- Page 1 – Fill out this page with your personal information.
- Page 2 – This is a sample filled-out form to guide you. Use it as a reference when completing Page 1.
- OCA Number – Enter your Social Security Number in the OCA field, as shown in the sample.
✅ Step 2: Visit a Live Scan Facility
Take your completed form to any Live Scan facility.
- Most UPS Stores offer Live Scan services.
- You can also find additional state-approved locations here: California Live Scan Locations
✅ Step 3: Obtain and Upload the Signed Form
After completing your Live Scan, the facility will give you a signed copy of the “Request for Live Scan Service” form.
- Keep this document safe. As outlined in Onboarding Instructions, you’ll need to upload a scanned copy of this document to:
- Our Document Portal
- The CDPH Online Portal
⚠️ Important Notes
- Processing Time: Live Scan results may take a few days to reach the state, but as long as you’ve submitted your Live Scan before training begins, you may start the class.
- What to Upload: We only require the Live Scan Request Form completed by the facility.
- We do not need your Live Scan results — these are sent directly to the state.
- No Reuse Allowed: You cannot use a previously completed Live Scan.
- The State of California requires a new Live Scan specifically for CNA training.
