The Fontana Police Department offers Live Scan fingerprinting services for those needing to be fingerprinted for background checks for employment, school or volunteer positions.  Live Scan involves digitally scanning fingerprints, which can be electronically transmitted to both State and Federal authorities when background checks are required.  Live Scan digital submissions provide the quickest way to submit and process background checks. 

Live Scan fingerprinting is offered to both residents and non-residents for a fee of $18.00.  Depending on the reason for the fingerprinting, additional Department of Justice and FBI fees may be applicable (Fee schedule).  All fees will be due and payable when you arrive for your scheduled appointment.

Live Scan fingerprinting is done by appointment only on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 am to 11:00 am and 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.  To schedule an appointment call the Records Division at (909) 356-7103.
