Live Scan Application

Applicants Seeking Licensure, In-State Applicants Only

What is LiveScan?

LiveScan is digital fingerprinting and transmission of the impression directly to the SBI and FBI for processing.

North Carolina Residents Only

If you reside in North Carolina, use LiveScan to obtain and transmit your digital fingerprints electronically to the SBI/FBI. LiveScan is only available to applicants living in North Carolina.

If you submit your prints via LiveScan, do not submit a fingerprint card or any forms that may have been mailed to you. This could delay the processing of your application!

Forms

Out-of-State Residents

If you reside in another state or country, a fingerprint card and instructions may be mailed directly to you upon request. Fingerprinting must be performed by trained law enforcement personnel; contact your local sheriff or police office for assistance and additional details. Email your mailing address to info@ncdentalboard.org to have fingerprint card and related documents mailed to you.

Please Note!
If you submit fingerprint cards, DO NOT submit the LiveScan forms. This will delay processing of your application!
