In the security-aware world of today, digital fingerprinting is an anchor of trusted identity authentication. When you’re seeking employment, immigration, citizenship, volunteer activities, or professional licenses, you need to rely on accurate background checks — and they all begin with one single step: fingerprinting.
VS Fingerprinting is a reputable name in Canada, providing accurate and reliable digital fingerprint services to individuals, professionals, and organizations. We blend innovative technology, RCMP accreditation, and customer-centric service to make your fingerprinting experience hassle-free, secure, and up to federal standards.
What Is Digital Fingerprinting?
Digital fingerprinting is the electronic scanning of fingerprints with special biometric scanners. In contrast to the old ink-and-paper way of taking fingerprints, digital fingerprinting is faster, cleaner, and more accurate. The information is encrypted directly and sent to appropriate authorities like the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) for background checks and identity verification.
Advantages are:
Very High Accuracy
Fast Turnaround
Secure Transmission of Data
Low Possibility of Rejection
Environmentally Friendly (no ink)
Why Digital Fingerprinting Matters
Digital fingerprinting is essential in industries that need legal, professional, or immigration confirmation. Digital fingerprinting eradicates fraud, makes application procedures more efficient, and gives a tamper-proof identification mechanism.
Typical Use Cases:
Canadian Citizenship Applications
Permanent Residency (PR)
Work Permits and Visas
Record Suspensions (Pardons)
Police Clearance Certificates
Volunteer Screening
Adoptions and Name Changes
Employment Background Checks
As reported by the RCMP, electronic fingerprint submissions lower processing time dramatically — completing criminal checks in just 72 hours or less when there is no criminal record found.
