    I was in a Domestic Violence relationship and my husband abused my daughter and we were arrested but my charges were dropped. Will that show up on my back ground or Live Scan??

    No one can say what might show up on any particular background check (all are not created equal) or a live scan.

    Have you thought about running a background check and/or live scan yourself?

    Yes, all arrest will usually be revealed.
    That's why an arrest isn't generally held against you.
    Plus, you are free to offer an explanation as to the disposition of the matter.

    You misunderstand a bit. Live Scan is simply a process for obtaining fingerprints, as opposed to the old ink and paper.

    Arrests are recorded in state criminal justice databases and will generally show up on any background check. Do you have documents from the court showing the disposition of your case?
