Fingerprinting is required for all adult volunteers in compliance with state law AB506. 

Every adult volunteer should take steps to complete fingerprinting, please do so as soon as possible. This service is currently offered at no cost to members for a limited time only, and once the screening is approved there is no need to reprint for GS NorCal*!

Live Scan fingerprinting is available for all volunteers & will be free to members until April 2025.

Here are the steps you need to follow to comply with the fingerprinting requirements:

  1. Visit the website and register for a fingerprinting appointment. [Begin Live Scan Fingerprint Process
  2. Attend your scheduled fingerprinting appointment at a designated location.  If you need to reschedule your appointment, please use the link above and click "Reschedule Appointment" at the top of the page. 

In order to ensure complete compliance with the latest laws and regulations, we are requesting volunteers who have been fingerprinted prior to 2023 to be rescanned. The previous fingerprint background checks no longer meet the current standards. 

Thank you for understanding the importance of maintaining a safe and secure environment for everyone involved. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to info@gsnorcal.org and we will be happy to support you!

*current screenings valid for up to 75 years, exceptions may apply if there is a significant lapse in membership or a volunteer becomes ineligible.
