Live Scan Q & A

  • Live Scan is technology used to capture fingerprints by electronic means. These fingerprints are sent to the FBI and Department of Justice to be compared to criminal databases throughout the country. This is the best way for Genesis Church to determine whether a volunteer has a criminal conviction history.

  • Usually 10-20 minutes from start to finish.

  • Genesis Church takes the responsibility for protecting our children very seriously. Because Live Scan is such an effective part of any criminal background check, we are committed to providing these services for all our volunteers and staff. California AB 506 requires a background check using the Live Scan process.

  • Yes. Organizations who use Live Scan are not allowed to share the Live Scan information with anyone else.  The Department of Justice doesn't allow Live Scans to be transferrable to other organizations. Even though you may have been Live Scanned somewhere else, Genesis Church will need to perform their own Live Scan.

  • Nothing. Genesis Church will be covering all the Live Scan costs.

  • Not necessarily. If a prior conviction appears during your Live Scan or background check, it does not automatically disqualify you from serving. Each situation is reviewed individually. All background information is handled with strict confidentiality by a designated team that is federally authorized to receive and process Live Scan information and maintain these records. When necessary, relevant details may be shared with members of the pastoral team based on the circumstances. With the many service opportunities available at Genesis Church, it is likely that we can find a suitable place for you to serve.
