Fingerprint-Based Background Checks in brief
A fingerprint-based check is the most reliable way to confirm a person’s identity and the only way to obtain the full contents of a criminal record. It is commonly required for citizenship and permanent residency applications, visas for several countries, record suspensions (pardons) and certain jobs, particularly with the federal government.
Plan for a twenty-minute appointment. Your fingerprints are captured electronically, with no ink or paper, and transmitted to the RCMP before you leave. The RCMP then mails your results directly to you, typically within 5 to 25 business days. Bring two valid pieces of government-issued ID, at least one with a photo, plus any form provided by your employer, organization or local police station.

FAQ
Do I need an appointment for RCMP fingerprinting in Montreal?
Yes. Appointments are mandatory so that an accredited technician is on site when you arrive and you avoid any waiting. Regular slots run from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily, except Friday afternoons and weekends. Evening and select Saturday appointments are available for an additional fee.
Is your fingerprinting service RCMP-accredited?
Yes. Accès Identité is a partner company authorized by the RCMP, and your results carry the same official weight as those obtained through a police service. The certificate is issued by the RCMP itself and is recognized internationally, which matters for immigration and foreign visa applications.
I live on the island of Montreal. What is the easiest way to reach you?
Take the yellow metro line to Longueuil–Université-de-Sherbrooke; the office is a short walk from the station, roughly fifteen minutes from downtown door to door. Clients in Ville St-Laurent and Laval can also contact us by phone or email to arrange fingerprinting closer to home.
