Fingerprint & Live Scan Training in Berkeley, CA
If you're a notary in Berkeley, you're already most of the way to offering fingerprinting. Our online fingerprinting classes walk you from your first roll through the FD-258 and into how to start a fingerprinting business serving Berkeley and the rest of California.
Why Berkeley notaries and small businesses add fingerprinting
In Berkeley, the buyers are the same ones you'd expect: licensing boards, schools and daycares, healthcare employers, adoption and immigration filings, contractors, and volunteers who all need prints for a background check. Module by module, the course shows you how to reach each of them in a market like Berkeley.

A note on California requirements
One important note for California: Live Scan is regulated at the state level, and requirements for providers vary. Ink-card fingerprinting (for FBI channelers and out-of-state applicants) is generally lighter than becoming an approved Live Scan vendor. The course shows you how to determine what applies in California — but you'll confirm your own state and agency rules before taking a paying client.
