XL- ID Solutions is an accredited direct connect fingerprinting agency in Montreal. We digitize fingerprints and submit them electronically to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) for criminal record checks and referred vulnerable sector checks. A certified criminal record check from Canada is often required for immigration purposes, citizenship applications, foreign work/travel and other verifications.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE
Apostille (or Authentication) of the Canadian Criminal Background Check Certificate from the RCMP
Several countries request RCMP certificates to be Apostilled (or authenticated) by Global Affairs Canada (formerly the Department of Foreign Affairs). We can help you with this process, and you can choose this option on your order.
For information on Vulnerable sector check, please read our "Frequently Asked Questions" section.
For information on Privacy Act, please read our "Frequently Asked Questions" section. You can choose this option on your order. Due to the sensitive nature of this request and despite our best efforts, RCMP could send the results directly to the residential address (instead of the stipulated shipping address).

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.
