RCMP digital fingerprinting in Barrie, ON

Live Scan is a fully electronic fingerprinting process. Your fingerprints are captured using a precision optical scanner, reviewed for quality in real time, and transmitted securely — eliminating the smudging, delays, and resubmission problems that come with traditional ink cards.

How RCMP submissions work from our Barrie location

RCMP digital fingerprinting at our Barrie office is processed through Quick Fingerprinting Toronto Inc., an RCMP-accredited fingerprinting agency. Fingerprints captured here are submitted electronically to the RCMP's Canadian Criminal Real Time Identification Services (CCRTIS) through Quick Fingerprinting Toronto Inc.'s accredited channel. IDENTITI operates this Barrie office as an affiliated fingerprint capture location — it is Quick Fingerprinting Toronto Inc. that holds the RCMP accreditation for these submissions.

Why Live Scan is the right choice for most applications

Electronic submission is faster and more reliable than mailing ink cards. Fingerprint quality is verified before submission, reducing the risk of rejection. For applications where the RCMP accepts electronic processing, Live Scan is the recommended method.

Common reasons people book fingerprinting in Barrie

• IRCC fingerprint request letters — for citizenship, permanent residence, and temporary residence applications
• Employment screening in regulated industries requiring a certified fingerprint-based criminal record check
• Government programs, contract security requirements, and controlled environment clearances
• Record suspension (pardon) submissions to the Parole Board of Canada
• Name change and adoption-related legal file requirements
• Privacy Act requests where fingerprints are specified by the requesting organization

Important

Certified criminal record results and official RCMP certificates are issued directly by the RCMP or the relevant requesting authority — not by IDENTITI or Quick Fingerprinting Toronto Inc. We handle the capture and submission; the RCMP issues the result.

Fingerprint-based criminal record checks for employment and volunteering in Barrie

Many organizations — particularly those in regulated industries or working with vulnerable populations — require a certified criminal record check processed through the RCMP, not a standard name-based search. Whether you need fingerprints depends entirely on what your employer or organization has requested.

When a fingerprint-based check is typically required

• Employment in regulated sectors such as healthcare, law enforcement support, financial services, and security
• Volunteer roles where the organization specifies a certified fingerprint-based check
• Private industry positions where the employer requires fingerprint-based RCMP processing
• Government contracts and security clearance processes
• Vulnerable sector checks — these must be initiated by the hiring or supervising organization, not by the individual

What happens at your Barrie appointment

We capture your fingerprints digitally and submit them electronically to the RCMP's CCRTIS through Quick Fingerprinting Toronto Inc. We'll review your request letter with you, make sure your package is complete, and walk you through every step. The final certified criminal record check result is issued by the RCMP or the requesting organization — not by us.

Not sure if you need fingerprints?

Not every background check requires fingerprints. If your employer or organization has given you a request letter that specifically asks for a certified fingerprint-based check, that's when you book with us. If you're unsure, contact us before your appointment and we'll help clarify.

Fingerprinting for immigration and citizenship applications in Barrie

A fingerprint-based criminal record check is frequently required as part of Canadian immigration and citizenship applications. When IRCC or another immigration authority requires a certified criminal record check, they typically issue a fingerprint request letter specifying that fingerprints must be submitted to the RCMP. This is the most frequent reason clients visit our Barrie office.

RCMP fingerprinting for IRCC and immigration files

Fingerprints are digitally captured at our Barrie location and submitted electronically to the RCMP's Canadian Criminal Real Time Identification Services (CCRTIS) through Quick Fingerprinting Toronto Inc. This applies to applicants with:

• Canadian citizenship applications requiring a certified criminal record check
• Permanent residence (PR) applications where IRCC has issued a fingerprint request letter
• Temporary residence applications including work permits and study permits
• Immigration-related file requirements where the applicant must provide RCMP-processed results
• Visa applications specifying a Canadian criminal record check or RCMP-issued document

Ink fingerprinting for FBI background checks and foreign police certificates

If you need fingerprints for an FBI background check, foreign police certificate, or another international authority that specifically requires ink fingerprints, we offer ink fingerprinting at our Barrie office. These are separate from RCMP digital submissions and are typically required when:

• A country or foreign authority requires an FBI Identity History Summary Check (FD-258 card format)
• A visa application or foreign residency process requires ink fingerprints on a specific card or form
• A foreign consulate or embassy specifies traditional ink fingerprints for their process
• Travel or work abroad requires a police clearance involving ink fingerprint submission

Note on international submissions

For international ink fingerprint submissions, you typically submit the completed package to the requesting authority yourself. Our focus is accurate capture and correct card formatting so your package meets the receiving agency's standards.

Additional authorized uses for fingerprint-based RCMP submissions

Beyond employment, volunteering, and immigration, there are several other authorized purposes for which a certified fingerprint-based criminal record check may be required. In each case, the submission is made electronically to the RCMP's CCRTIS through Quick Fingerprinting Toronto Inc., an RCMP-accredited fingerprinting agency.

Adoption

Prospective adoptive parents are typically required to undergo fingerprint-based criminal record checks as part of both domestic and international adoption processes. Requirements vary by province and adoption agency; your adoption authority or social worker will specify what is needed.

Name change applications

Some name change processes administered through provincial vital statistics offices or other authorities may require a certified criminal record check. If a fingerprint-based check is specified in your application instructions, we can assist with the submission.

Record suspension (pardon) applications

Applicants seeking a record suspension through the Parole Board of Canada are required to submit a certified criminal record obtained through the RCMP using fingerprints. This is a mandatory step in the record suspension process and must be done through an accredited fingerprinting channel. Fingerprints are submitted on your behalf through Quick Fingerprinting Toronto Inc.

Personal use and other authorized purposes

Individuals may request a certified criminal record check for personal reference, relocation, or other authorized purposes where an RCMP-issued certified record is specifically required. If you have received instructions specifying a fingerprint-based submission, we can assist with the process and ensure your package is properly prepared.

Important

We do not issue criminal record results. All certified records and official results are issued directly by the RCMP to the applicant or the requesting authority.
