Fingerprinting
Digital fingerprinting, in Edmonton
Electronic fingerprint capture and submission for police certificates and criminal record checks — including the ones immigration applications require.
What it is usually needed for
- Police certificates requested as part of a permanent residence application
- Certified criminal record checks where a name-based check is not accepted
- Resolving a name-match flagged against someone else's record
- Employment, licensing, volunteering and adoption clearances
- Record suspension applications
How it works
Fingerprints are captured electronically and submitted for processing. Electronic submission is considerably faster than ink and card, and avoids the rejections that come from a smudged impression — which, on an immigration file with a deadline attached, matters more than the time saved.
Bring government photo identification
Identity has to be established at the appointment. Bring valid government-issued photo ID. If the fingerprints are for an immigration application, tell us which one — the agency the results should be sent to differs, and sending them to the wrong place means starting again.
