Live Scan Services

RCMP

PrintScan's live scan fingerprinting system is certified with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). Private fingerprinting companies accredited by the RCMP are authorized to take fingerprints for civil purposes and submit them as electronic transactions to RCMP's Canadian Criminal Real Time Identification Services (CCRTIS) for verification against the National Repository of Criminal Records.

Certified Criminal Record Checks

  • When name-based criminal record checks do not provide a definite way of confirming a person's identity, you may be asked to provide fingerprints. This is known as a "certified criminal record check."

  • A fingerprint search of the National Repository of Criminal Records is conducted by RCMP's Canadian Criminal Real Time Identification Services (CCRTIS).

  • A very small number of people have fingerprints that cannot be processed electronically. In these exceptional cases, the police service will submit a paper copy of your fingerprints.

  • The use of fingerprints for criminal record checks is based on informed consent and includes sharing the results of that information to a third party named by you on the application form.
