We are an Idemia fingerprint center partner in St. John's. We have trained staff on site to provide electronic live scan fingerprint services to customers.

How it works:

Fingerprints are captured electronically in a friendly, professional environment by one of our certified fingerprint technicians and submitted immediately to the RCMP for processing, through Morpho Global ID Services secure server located in Ottawa, Ontario. Submitting fingerprint records electronically means you can receive criminal history results in days instead of months. If you do have a criminal holding, your application may take in excess of 120 days to process.

To verify the status of your application please review the attached document for further instructions.

An applicant requesting fingerprints "MUST" provide TWO pieces of identification upon arriving at our office.

Acceptable ID's include:

• Driver's license
• Passport
• Firearms acquisition certificate
• Military Family ID Card
• Birth Certificate
• Hospital Card

*Social Insurance Numbers are NOT acceptable for ID verification purposes.

Applicants who require a FEDERAL CLEARANCE for Government of Canada contract security program please note:

Your Company Security Officer (CSO)/ Alternate Company Security Officer (ACSO) must provide you with a "Fingerprints Applicant Request Form" stating the Originating Agency Identifier (ORI) number assigned to an agency that has met the criteria for a fingerprint base background check. This form should be brought to our office on the date of your appointment.
