Fingerprinting

Commissionnaires is authorized by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) to digitize fingerprints and send them directly to the Canadian Criminal Real Time Identification Services for processing. This method reduces the RCMP’s processing time to just 72 hours.

In addition to a state-of-the-art digital fingerprinting service, we also offer a traditional ink-based fingerprinting service and conversion of ink fingerprints to electronic format.

In Québec, Commissionnaires has seven offices to serve you. Please contact the one located in your region to make an appointment:

Applicants must present two pieces of valid, government-issued identification, including one with a picture. The following pieces of identification are accepted:

• Passport
• Driver’s licence
• Birth certificate

• Indian status certificate
• Immigration documents (work or study permit)
• Military Family Identification Card (MFIC)
• Record of landing (for citizenship applications)

Note: Applicants with a letter or file number are asked to present them.
