Biometrics or Electronic Fingerprinting: This advanced system sends your fingerprints direct via electronically to the RCMP Civil Fingerprinting Screening Services in Ottawa, usually before you leave our office, therefore eliminating mailing time.  This process is secure, confidential, convenient and ensures a more prompt processing time regarding your certified criminal record search (CPIC) results.  

Current Biometric processing times:

• No existing criminal record associated to fingerprints:  72 hour processing time + mail time = 1 week

• Existing criminal record associated to fingerprints: 72 hour processing time + verification of record and prints + mail time = 2-4 months.

Current ink and paper submissions processing time:

• Excess of one hundred and twenty (120) days = 4-6 months.

Once your fingerprints are sent using this advanced process, you can be confident that the most important part of obtaining your certified criminal record certificate has been completed.

The system also has a unique tracking procedure that allows FPS Fingerprint Pardon Services to obtain the status of your fingerprints in the fingerprint screening process system at any time.

Important notice:

1. The following identification must be present at time of biometric fingerprinting services.  No Exceptions! Two (2) pieces of current government issued identification showing full name and birth date, one must be a photo. 
   

2. All Biometric Fingerprinting Services offered by FPS Fingerprint Pardon Services are fingerprint-based criminal record searches for non-criminal purposes.  Searches are performed against the central repository of Canadian criminal records (CPIC) held by the RCMP.

3. All results are certified.
   

4. FPS Fingerprint Pardon Services does not offer or provide name and birth date criminal record searches.

5. In accordance with the Criminal Records Act, applicants for paid or volunteer work with "vulnerable persons" must commence the process for obtaining a criminal records verification at a local police service and not at a privately operating fingerprint firm.

6. FPS is responsible for the submission of electronic fingerprints to the RCMP only, and plays no role in the decision making process relating to the purpose of an application.
