This is a paperless process. We are accredited by the RCMP to submit electronic fingerprints to RCMP's Canadian Criminal Real Time Identification Services (CCRTIS) on your behalf. Digital fingerprinting is the electronic capture of a person’s fingerprints via a live scanner at our West Edmonton Mall location. The scanned fingerprints, along with the application details will be sent digitally to secured RCMP’s Canadian Criminal Real Time Information System. CCRTIS compares fingerprint details with RCMP criminal record database. If no record is present, the RCMP will issue a certificate indicating a clear record. If the applicant does have a criminal record this will be indicated in the results.
Ink and Roll fingerprint is a substitute for above mentioned digital check where information exchange between two countries is not possible due to technology differences, or for privacy reasons. For Example, a Canadian resident needs a background check from the Philippines. Canadian residents can send Ink and Roll fingerprints to the designated country to obtain the criminal record check. Please consult the designated country criminal record check guidelines/website for more information.
