Volunteering with the Statewide UC Master Food Preserver Program

Live Scan Process for New Volunteers 

Fingerprint Clearance from the Department of Justice
All UC Master Food Preserver Volunteers must be fingerprinted and pass a Department of Justice background check. Each entity requesting your fingerprints has their own reporting number; this is why you must complete this process even if you have been cleared by another organization in the past.

• Volunteers with the statewide Online Delivery Program:
  • Once accepted as a volunteer, request Live Scan Service Form.  
  • Volunteer Live Scan Fingerprinting Guidelines
• Volunteers who are part of a local county program: see your local Program Coordinator for your county's forms.

If you have lived in California less than 2 years: please mark the FBI box in addition to the DOJ box for the level of service. 

Where to Get Fingerprinted
Use the information above or you can go to your local police department, sheriff’s office or public applicant Live Scan sites. You can find a site near you by going to https://oag.ca.gov/fingerprints/locations. You do not need to go to a site in your home county if another site is more convenient.
