Why RCMP Accreditation Matters
Speed, Security, and Direct Digital Submission.
When searching for fingerprinting services in Surrey, you will see the term “RCMP Accredited” often. But is it just a fancy label, or does it actually matter? The answer is: it is the most important factor in choosing a provider.
Surrey Fingerprint Company is fully accredited. Here is what that means for you.
1. Direct Digital Connection (CCRTIS)
Accredited agencies have a secure, direct digital link to the Canadian Criminal Real Time Identification Services (CCRTIS) in Ottawa. Non-accredited locations cannot submit files digitally; they would have to mail ink cards, taking weeks instead of minutes.
2. Data Security & Privacy
To gain accreditation, an agency undergoes rigorous security screenings by the federal government. Our software, server connections, and physical office layout are inspected to ensure your private biometric data is handled with the highest level of security.
3. Lower Rejection Rates
Our technicians are trained and certified to RCMP standards. We know exactly how to capture clear, usable prints. This drastically reduces the chance of your submission being rejected due to poor image quality.
The Risks of Non-Accredited Services
Using a non-accredited provider often means they are acting as a “middleman,” mailing your prints to a third party. This increases the risk of lost documents, delays, and privacy breaches.
