The California Board requires a separate fingerprint transmission for each application submitted to the Board. As a result, you will need to have new fingerprints taken for your pharmacist license.
Live Scan fingerprinting services enable authorized agencies to scan your fingerprints then submit them digitally to the California Board of Pharmacy.

In 2008, a number of licensure applications were delayed due to problems with Live Scan. The Board recommends that at your fingerprinting you confirm that the Live Scan operator correctly enters your name, date of birth, and social security number.
If any of these are incorrect, you will need a new Live Scan fingerprinting and will need to pay a new Live Scan fee.
Some operators do not include this info, so be sure they submit complete information for you.
The first Live Scan form remains with the Live Scan operator. The second form is submitted as part of your application -- be sure the operator signs it. You keep the third form for your records.
