What is BCIA 8016?
Form BCIA 8016, Request for Live Scan Service (Applicant Submission), is the California Department of Justice form an applicant uses to request a Live Scan fingerprint transaction, with results going to the agency authorized to receive criminal record information.
This copy is preprinted with AD510 SOMATIC - MASSAGE, the Authorized Applicant Type PERMIT, and the contributing agency: City of Sacramento Business Permits, 915 I Street Room 1201, Business Permits & Taxes, Sacramento CA 95814, telephone (916) 808-8500, mail code 14569. It is a fingerprint request, not a permit or license: the City's special business permits, such as the massage practitioner and establishment permits, are issued separately by the Finance Department, Revenue Division.
Page 1 collects the applicant's name, any other name, sex, date of birth, physical description, place of birth, identification numbers, home address and signature. It also has a Level of Service choice (DOJ or FBI), a box for the original ATI number on a resubmission, an Employer block for agencies specified by statute, and a block the Live Scan operator completes. Pages 2 to 4 hold the Privacy Notice, the Privacy Act Statement and the Noncriminal Justice Applicant's Privacy Rights.
Who needs to file BCIA 8016?
Applicants who are asked by City of Sacramento Business Permits to submit fingerprints for a massage-related permit use this form, because it is preprinted for AD510 SOMATIC - MASSAGE and names the City office as the agency that receives the criminal record information. The form itself does not list which permit holders must be fingerprinted, so confirm with Business Permits & Taxes at (916) 808-8500 or [email protected].
- Each person being fingerprinted completes the applicant section and signs for themselves; the form has one applicant signature line and names no one else who may sign.
- Complete the Employer block only if your situation falls under the agencies the form describes as specified by statute; it is labeled as an additional response.
- Anyone resubmitting after a rejected Live Scan transaction uses the same form and lists the original ATI number, with proof of rejection.
The Privacy Rights page explains the rights of applicants undergoing a national fingerprint-based check for a noncriminal justice purpose, such as a license application.
When to file BCIA 8016
Complete Form BCIA 8016 when the Live Scan fingerprinting for your City of Sacramento permit is requested; the form prints no due date of its own. A resubmission after a rejected transaction uses the same form, with the original ATI number and proof of rejection. The Live Scan operator enters the transaction date in the block at the bottom of page 1. For timing tied to your permit application, contact City of Sacramento Business Permits & Taxes at (916) 808-8500 (phone hours Monday to Thursday 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Friday 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.) or [email protected].

How to submit BCIA 8016
The form is used in a Live Scan transaction and names City of Sacramento Business Permits as the agency that receives the criminal record information. It prints no mailing address, portal or appointment rule for delivering the form itself.
- Live Scan transaction: the form has a block headed Live Scan Transaction Completed By, which the operator fills in: name of operator, date, Transmitting Agency, LSID, ATI Number and Amount Collected/Billed. Leave it blank.
- City of Sacramento Business Permits: City of Sacramento, Revenue Division, 915 I Street, Room 1201, Sacramento, CA 95814. Phone (916) 808-8500; email [email protected]; public counter Monday through Thursday, 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM. Ask this office how the Live Scan fits with your permit application.

Provide every piece of requested information: the Privacy Notice says missing information causes delays or rejection of the request. FillingPDF lets you fill out and download the PDF; submission follows the channels above.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Leaving requested personal information blank; the Privacy Notice says incomplete information results in delays or rejection of the request.
- Resubmitting after a rejection without listing the original ATI number and providing proof of rejection.
- Entering a working title longer than 30 characters, or a different title when DOJ has assigned one; the form requires the exact assigned title.
- Signing without having received and read the Privacy Notice, Privacy Act Statement and Applicant's Privacy Rights that the signature line acknowledges.
- Filling in the Live Scan Transaction Completed By block (operator, date, LSID, ATI Number, amount) yourself; it is completed by the operator.
- Omitting the signature date next to the privacy acknowledgment on page 1.
- Entering Employer information when it does not apply; that block is an additional response only for agencies specified by statute.

What if my Live Scan request was rejected?
Resubmit on the same form and list the original ATI number in the re-submission box. The form says you must provide proof of rejection. Missing information is one cause of rejection, according to the Privacy Notice.
What rights do I have if I have a criminal history record?
