Form 41-LS Live Scan Receipt (click here to view a list of agencies offering livescan services)

  • If you have not completed fingerprints for the Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC):  Please be aware that you will also have to complete the Live Scan form for employment through the Inyo County Office of Education Clearing house (click here to be directed to the ICOE Live Scan form). They are two different forms, with different “ORI” numbers since the results will go to each agency.  If you go to an agency other than the Inyo County Office of Education to complete your fingerprints, please make sure to take both forms with you to your fingerprint appointment to avoid having to go back or paying an additional rolling fee (which will be your responsibility).
  • If you already hold a valid a certificate of clearance: submit a copy from the CTC website, in lieu of Form 41-LS. This means you already have fingerprint clearance on file with the CTC and don’t need to do it again. You will only be required to complete fingerprints for employment (click here to be directed to the ICOE Live Scan form).

If you are unsure or have any questions, please contact Maria Valencia at (760) 878-2426 ext. 3352
