Digital Fingerprinting

Commissionaires Ottawa’s state-of-the-art electronic and digital fingerprinting service is INK-FREE and only takes 20 MINUTES TO PROCESS.

It is also:

    • Conducted in a confidential setting, where individual rights and privacy are assured.
    • Offered at offices in Ottawa, Gatineau and Sudbury.
    • Available as a mobile service, (ask us about group processing at your location).
    • Supervised by knowledgeable security professionals who will answer questions and help guide the process.
    • Accredited by the RCMP and recognized by local police departments and the Government of Canada.
    • Linked to the RCMP’s Canadian Criminal Real Time Information System—a secure and direct link that reduces wait times for processing from several weeks or months, to only a few days*.

* Clients who request traditional ink & roll fingerprints—a service that we also offer—or have a criminal record can expect a longer wait time for processing.
