Information for Employers

CA State law requires many employers to obtain criminal background checks for their volunteer or employees via Live Scan.

Employers will register with the Department of Justice (DOJ) of California, which will issue them with an ORI (Originating Agency) code. The ORI Code identifies the agency requesting the Live Scan, and is necessary for submission of Live Scan fingerprint applications.

Along with the ORI code, a Mail Code can also be requested. The mail code will allow the employer retrieval of applicants’ responses from a secure electronic mailbox at the DOJ, speeding up the process.

Instructions on how to register with the DOJ and all the relevant forms (in PDF format) can be conveniently found in a single location at the Office of the Attorney General website:
