Live Scan is the process used to digitally obtain and transmit fingerprints. Live Scan is used in the process of conducting background checks which may be required as a condition of employment, licensing, certification, foreign adoptions or VISA/Immigration purposes. The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office offers Live Scan services to the public by appointment only.
Live Scans are available by appointment only. Please call 707-445-7251 between 8 a.m. and 3:45 p.m. to schedule your appointment.
We charge $35.00 for the Live Scan service, payable with business checks and cash. We do not accept debit or credit cards.
