The State of California requires that all volunteers who work with Youth for 32 hours or more per year have digital fingerprints taken and a background check completed (also referred to as Live Scan). The background check searches only for certain serious offenses, not for traffic or other minor issues. 

Most ward and stake leaders and many ward members are now required to be fingerprinted as part of the Live Scan process, including the stake presidency, bishoprics, stake and ward primary workers, stake and ward young women and young men leaders, advisors, instructors, and camp directors, seminary teachers and secretaries (including regular substitutes), aAny other person who may work with youth or children for 32 hours or more per year. It also includes those serving as ministers with junior companions who are minors.

Members will be charged $15-45 for the fingerprinting part of the process. They should submit a request to the Ward Finance Clerk for reimbursement as soon as possible. The following are the lowest cost Live scan vendors in Folsom and El Dorado Hills (Plan on a 15-20 minute visit).

It is an ideal opportunity to help others feel and recognize the Holy Ghost in a very comfortable and non-pressured way. It is also for youth, new and returning members, and those preparing to enter the temple -- everyone is encouraged to attend.  The tour includes a video presentation and a guided walk around the temple.
