Benefits of Electronic Fingerprinting

Digital (electronic) fingerprinting consists of digitally acquiring a person’s fingerprints using an optical device.

There are several advantages to this method:

  • Non-Staining

    No ink is used. An optical device captures fingerprints. You will never get your fingers dirty.

  • Fast and Easy Process

    Capturing a complete set of fingerprints (flat impressions of all ten fingers) takes only minutes.

  • Instant Quality Check

    Each fingerprint gets analyzed to ensure the quality is adequate.

  • Get the Result Faster

    Electronic processing significantly reduces processing time when there is no match to an RCMP fingerprint holding.
