Instructions for Getting Fingerprinted

2010-2011

You must follow ALL of these steps in order to be fingerprinted!

  1. Photo identification (CA driver’s license, or govt. ID)

  2. Cash or Check
    Parish Volunteer: $14 Parish Employee: $38
    School Volunteer: $46 School Employee: $70

  3. The three forms you received from parish office

After you are fingerprinted, you will be given one of the three copies of the “Request for Live Scan Service” form; return one of the copies in the envelope provided. The Parish must receive this written proof that you have been fingerprinted.


The policy of the Diocese of Orange states that volunteers will be disqualified from their ministry setting involving regular contact with minors if a criminal background check indicates the existence of a prior conviction for one of the following categories of crimes:

  1. a conviction for any sex offense included in the penal code

  2. a conviction for possession or possession for sale related to narcotics

  3. a conviction for a violent or serious felony (generally a horrific or violent crime)

  4. a finding of insanity as part of a criminal proceeding


In the event of such a disqualifying conviction, the pastor will be contacted with the information that there is a disqualifying conviction and the person will be removed from any ministry involving minors.

All volunteers having regular and consistent contact with minors are required to:
• Complete a fingerprint criminal history background check
• Receive and read the Diocesan Sexual Misconduct Policy and return a signed acknowledgment to the parish

The process using the Live Scan technology takes only a few minutes. After filling out an information form, the individual places the palm of the hand on a glass screen while an electronic image of fingerprints is taken.

The results are returned to the Diocese within four hours to a week later. In order to protect individual privacy, each person will be assigned a parish code.

If the report indicates no convictions in the four pertinent areas, the Diocese of Orange will record the date the Live Scan process was initiated by that particular individual, the date the report was returned, and the finding that no pertinent convictions were indicated. This information will be kept in a special file at the Diocese. The original background report itself will be destroyed.
