Washington state law requires/authorizes fingerprint background checks for the following:
All nine educational service district (ESD) offices within Washington state have the ability to process fingerprints electronically using live-scan technology. In addition, Washington State University, Central Washington University, Western Washington University, and Whitworth University have live-scan capabilities; please contact them directly for more information.
Provided your fingerprints are of good quality, live-scan greatly reduces the turnaround time. However, if you have worn/fine ridge detail you will benefit by having your fingerprints taken with black printer's ink using the ink-and-roll method.

NOTE: The WSP recommends persons with worn/fine ridge detail be fingerprinted using the ink-and-roll method, with retabs as necessary. Printer's ink is more effective for recording very fine ridge detail than digital fingerprinting.
