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.

An appointment is not necessary, you may simply show up to your nearest office between 8:00 to 18:00 from Monday to Friday.

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