Background Check / Livescan Requirements
The State of California requires that all volunteers who work with Youth for 32 hours or more per year have digital fingerprints taken and a background check completed (also referred to as Live Scan). Our Stake requires any person serving in a calling with children or youth to complete a background check regardless of number of hours served.
This includes: Bishopric Members; Primary and Nursery Workers; Young Women and Young Men's leaders, advisors, instructors, and camp directors; Seminary Teachers, Sunday School Teachers, and any other person working with minors
Below are instructions and information about the process as well as the form that you will need to fill out and present to have the background check done. The following are local businesses that provide the Live Scan service:
The UPS Store at 13389 Folsom Blvd, Suite 300
Capitol Live Scan. The UPS Store at 705 E. Bidwell, Suite #2
More than a Mailbox. 1750 Prairie City Road, Suite 130
