I searched the boards and couldn't find anything related to this. I originally obtained my RN license with California though examination summer of 2010 including sharing my fingerprints through Livescan. When submitted my license renewal online through BreEze in 2020 the portion mentioning fingerprint requirements stated that as long as they were obtained after January 2009 my fingerprinting requirement was met. After renewing and paying my fees, I found the FAQ section that mentioned that the fingerprinting requirement was only met if they were obtained after January 2014. After many phone calls and 1x email to the board over a holiday weekend while recovering from surgery 2 weeks before my license was set to expire I received the answer that the BreEze information is currently incorrect and that I would need to be re-fingerprinted as my fingerprints were obtained before 2014. You also must also contact the board through their website https://www.dca.ca.gov/webapps/rn/requests.php so someone can verify that you have submitted your application already BEFORE uploading your Livescan (as I have learned if the order is reversed your livescan will be rejected and you must resubmit) and they will email the Livescan form to you. However, the form they sent me was identical to this one (just make sure to print 3 copies) but that may change in the future: https://certifixlivescan.com/livescan-forms/california-live-scan-form-registered-nurse-license.pdf
The person I was able to speak to on the phone, *****, was very nice and helpful. The phone number I was able to reach her on when I called at 8:10am with no hold time was (916) 515-5278. She also assured me that as long as the Livescan form was received before the day my license was set to expire, even if it took longer for the fingerprints to be processed that my license would still be able to be renewed.
