Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We are a Private Fingerprinting Agency accredited by the RCMP since 2014. We
are authorized to securely capture and submit digital fingerprints to the RCMP’s CCRTIS
system via a secure electronic connection.

Please bring your Fingerprint Request Letter (from IRCC, your employer, or a government
agency, if any) along with two pieces of valid government-issued ID. The letter contains
specific instructions, if any, for the fingerprinting agency (e.g., an ORI) that are required to
ensure your results reach the correct department without delay.

For digital submissions with no criminal record, the RCMP typically processes results within

3–5 business days. Once processed, the RCMP mails the results via Canada Post. We

provide you with a Document Control Number (DCN) to track the status of your

submission, if you so require. Please follow the detailed instructions: Processing times and fees

Yes. While most Canadian requests are digital, we are fully equipped for Ink and Roll

Africa, Egypt, and the Philippines, etc., we can capture your fingerprints on the specific

fingerprint cards prescribed by these countries' police services.

fingerprints taken by a local police agency in your current country. We will digitize them and

happy to guide you step by step to avoid errors and delays. Please see our detailed
