Live Scan, an electronic fingerprinting method, has replaced traditional ink fingerprinting in Los Angeles. The government scans fingerprints and runs a criminal history background check using an Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) (AFIS). In Los Angeles, a fast and secure live scan is frequently required for some types of state-issued licenses, employment, and volunteer activity. A live scan or digital fingerprint is a digital identification based on a fingerprint used for identification and is part of the electronic fingerprinting process. Because this identification technique may be performed in real-time and at the moment of the transaction, it is preferred over traditional methods such as paper-based security systems and identification cards. A handheld device captures images in less than one second.
