A Cal DOJ/FBI background check is required for all EMT applicants, which shall be accomplished through the Department of Justice (DOJ) Live Scan system.
The Marin County EMS Agency must be the designated notification agency for the Live Scan background. Once you have completed the fingerprint process, we will receive the results electronically from the Department of Justice. Although this normally takes a few days, criminal activity in your background or other issues can delay the report and, therefore, the processing of your EMT certification can take up to 30 days.
If you had a Live Scan done previously for another agency, we do not have access to those results, and you will need to have one done for the Marin County EMS Agency.

Government fees are required for the State (DOJ) and Federal (FBI) level criminal history record checks.
Rolling fees vary from location to location and cover only the operator's cost for rolling the fingerprint images.
Applicants must present valid photo identification to the Live Scan Operator. Expired identification cards will not be accepted.
