What Is the BCIA 8016RR Form?
The BCIA 8016RR Request for Live Scan Service is a California Department of Justice form used to submit fingerprints for a personal criminal record review or a foreign adoption background check. You complete this form before your appointment, bring it to a certified Live Scan site, and the operator transmits your fingerprints electronically to the DOJ. Results are typically returned within three to five business days.
Who Needs This Form?
You need the BCIA 8016RR if you are requesting access to your own California criminal history record under Penal Code 11105.3. You also need it for foreign adoption fingerprinting under Penal Code 11105(b)(11). Some licensing boards and adoption agencies require this specific form rather than a standard Live Scan form. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID and the applicable fee to your appointment.
How to Edit the BCIA 8016RR Form Online
You can complete the form using the PDF editor on this page. Once finished, print and bring it to your Live Scan appointment. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Click the "Get Form" button at the top of this page to open the PDF editing tool. The form will load with all fields ready to complete.
Step 2: Once inside the editor, fill in your personal details and the information about the requested service. You can type in fields, add your signature, and make corrections before saving.
The form requires specific information in each section:
1. Complete all required personal identification fields in the first section:
2. Fill in your Place of Birth (State or Country), Social Security Number, Telephone Number, Street Address or PO Box, City, State, ZIP Code, and Level of Service. If resubmitting, include the original ATI number. For foreign adoption requests, complete the Foreign Government Embassy or Designee section (do not include employer details here).
Take extra care with the Designee or Embassy Name field and the ATI resubmission number. Errors in these fields are the most common reason for form rejection by the DOJ.
3. Complete the privacy consent section, including Collection and Use of Personal Information, the Public Records disclosure section, and the authorized agency contact details for the Department of Justice and Bureau of Criminal Information.
Step 3: Review all entries for accuracy, then click "Done" to finalize the form. You can download the completed BCIA 8016RR, save it to your FormsPal account, or send it by email directly from the editor.
