I definitely want to do LIVESCAN. However, I'm concerned that the FBI Report (Identity History Summary Check) is sent as a PDF rather than by mail/hard copy. The CIC website says they don't accept photocopies.
That is weird. I did a livescan and the officer gave me printed fingerprints on FD-258. i suggest you call the local PD and go there to do the fingerprint scan and request a copy. Like I said I have done it and FBi has accepted my prints.
I'll edit my post. I meant to say, they only provide a PDF copy of the Police Certificate (Identity History Summary Check)
No LIVESCAN is just an electronic fingerprinting process. So instead of dipping your fingers in ink you scan them electronically using this type of machine - http://www.californialivescanservices.com/assets/live-scan-header.jpg
Thanks, I'm a citizen so I'll be going to an FBI channeler for the LIVESCAN, so the fingerprints can be electronically sent. I simply am having trouble finding out if I am able to receive a hard copy of the Identity History Summary Check rather than a PDF.
Its ok ultimately you have to scan the hardcopy and create a PDF to upload anyways. Its better for you because, you will receive it faster and in email instead of snail mail.
You can use a CC and keep the old address on file. Make sure you don't change address on credit card and have electronic statements ON so nothing goes to your old address. I did the same and CC was charged successfully. Then I changed my address on CC. Not the best way but its possible. The problem with money order or certified check is there is not way to know if FBI is processing or not. With a CC you know instantly when your CC is charged.
