The status designation “completed” in a live scan report signifies that the fingerprint submission process has concluded and the data has been successfully transmitted to the appropriate agency for review. This typically triggers the subsequent stages of background checks or identity verification procedures. For example, a job applicant might see this status after undergoing fingerprinting for pre-employment screening.
This finalization is crucial for both applicants and requesting entities. It signals that a critical step in various processes, such as employment, licensing, or volunteer clearances, has been achieved. Historically, such checks involved manual processes and substantial delays. Digital fingerprinting and transmission through live scan technology significantly expedite these procedures, enhancing efficiency and facilitating timely decision-making. Knowing the process has reached this stage allows individuals to anticipate next steps and reduces uncertainty.
