Live Scan & notary, close to home.

The Ojai Valley — downtown Ojai, Meiners Oaks, Oak View, Mira Monte, and the East End — is a place people choose to live for its quiet, and it is a place where Live Scan providers are few. 805 Live Scan is about forty minutes south: CA-33 to US-101, then the Carmen Drive exit in Camarillo. We know that is a real trip, so we make it count — a private room, no line, certified equipment operated by the owner, and results transmitted to the DOJ before you head back up the valley.

Ojai’s schools, camps, and independent academies

Ojai is unusual for a city its size in the number of schools it hosts: the Ojai Unified School District, several well-known boarding and independent schools, and a full calendar of summer camps and outdoor programs. Faculty, residential staff, counselors, coaches, and volunteers are all cleared through Live Scan, and the peaks come in late summer and again in spring as camps staff up. If your school or camp needs to clear a group, our mobile service brings the equipment to the valley for five or more people and finishes everyone in a single session.

Healthcare and home care in the valley

Ojai Valley Community Hospital, the valley’s assisted living communities, and its home care agencies send nurses, CNAs, and caregivers through Live Scan for state licensing and onboarding. Ventura County IHSS caregivers in Ojai must clear a DOJ check before they can be paid. Each of these agencies issues a BCIA 8016 with its own ORI code; we check the code before capturing your prints so nothing has to be resubmitted.

Make one trip do double duty

Because the drive from Ojai is longer, many clients pair their Live Scan with a notary appointment — real estate and escrow documents, powers of attorney, trusts, or healthcare directives — in the same visit. Reserve a time online so your slot is guaranteed, and plan on about fifteen minutes in the studio. If you cannot travel, mobile notary service is available in the Ojai Valley with a travel fee based on distance.

What to bring

A valid state or government-issued photo ID and your BCIA 8016 Request for Live Scan Service from your requesting agency, including the ORI code. Government processing fees vary by agency and are collected with our $40 rolling fee at your visit.

Ojai questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there Live Scan in Ojai?

Live Scan options in the Ojai Valley are limited and often appointment-only. 805 Live Scan is a private studio about forty minutes south in Camarillo — CA-33 to US-101, exit Carmen Drive — with walk-in hours Tuesday through Friday and free parking. For schools, camps, and care facilities, our mobile service can bring the equipment to Ojai for groups of five or more.

Can you clear our whole camp staff before the summer season?

Yes. Our mobile group Live Scan is a popular option for Ojai Valley camps, schools, and youth programs. We come to your site, capture and transmit prints for everyone in a single session, and each person receives an ATI number. Call or text (805) 377-3595 for group pricing.

What should I bring to a Live Scan appointment?

A valid state or government-issued photo ID and your BCIA 8016 form — the Request for Live Scan Service — from your requesting agency. We attend to everything else.

How quickly will results come back?

Most DOJ responses process within 48–72 hours; FBI-level checks can take slightly longer. Results are transmitted directly to your requesting agency, and you'll leave with an ATI number to track your submission.

Do you accept walk-ins?

Yes — Tuesday through Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Same-day reservations are often available. After hours services can be arranged by appointment.

What does Live Scan cost?

Our rolling fee is competitively priced at $40. DOJ and FBI processing fees are fixed by the government — they vary by your requesting agency and are not negotiable. Everything is collected together at your visit.

How may I pay?

Zelle, Venmo, credit and debit cards, personal and business checks, and cash. All fees are collected at your visit.

Will the notary travel to me?

With pleasure — homes, offices, hospitals, and escrow signings throughout Ventura County, with a modest travel fee by distance.

What is an ORI number?

The ORI number tells the DOJ where to send results and determines applicable fees. It must be correct on your form before fingerprinting.

What happens if my prints are rejected?

You will usually receive a formal rejection or deficiency notice explaining the reason for the rejection, along with instructions on how to fix it. The government fees are waived for eligible resubmissions. If you return to 805 Live Scan, the rolling fee is also waived.

Why can’t I use one Live Scan for another purpose?

Live Scan fingerprint results are tied to a specific requesting agency and purpose. They cannot be reused or shared for a different agency or purpose.

Can I get a copy of my results from 805 Live Scan?

No. Results are sent directly to the requesting agency — we do not receive or store background check results. You can use the ATI (Applicant Transaction Identifier) number given to you to track your results on the DOJ website, and you can request a copy from your agency.

Can I request a criminal history record for myself?

Yes. To receive a copy of your own criminal history record, you must submit fingerprint images, pay a $25 processing fee to the DOJ and a $40 rolling fee to 805 Live Scan. All California applicants can use the Live Scan Form (BCIA 8016RR) and follow these steps:

  1. Check “Record Review” as the “Type of Application.”
  2. Enter “Record Review” on the “Reason for Application” line.
  3. Fill out all your personal information.
  4. Bring the completed form to 805 Live Scan for fingerprinting.

You may be eligible to apply for a fee waiver to cover the DOJ processing fees.
