Accredited Fingerprinting Agency In Calgary

Updated on August 25, 2020 by Carolyn 5 Comments

Several days ago I’ve written about getting a police clearance in Canada.

This post will complement the previous blog post and will benefit the most those who are living in Calgary, Alberta.

One of the three ways to get a police clearance in Canada is through the RCMP – accredited fingerprinting agency.

In Calgary, five accredited fingerprinting companies are in business to serve the likes of temporary foreign worker, permanent resident, and student.

Accredited Fingerprinting Agency in Calgary

If you own a similar business or discover an accredited fingerprinting company that is not on the list, take the time to comment and I’ll immediately update the post.

List of Accredited Fingerprinting Agency in Calgary

I am in no way affiliated to any of the following companies. With that in mind, part of the list is the agency where I applied for police certificate and NBI Clearance.

Let’s find out which one is the right agency for you.

1. The Fingerprint Room Inc.

2. Safran Morpho Global ID Services

Tel: (416) 816-3841
Website

L-1 Identity Solutions (formerly International Fingerprinting Services) is one of the Safran offices.

It is located in the Rocky Mountain Plaza, across the Calgary Central Library in downtown.

This is where I had a digital fingerprinting for the police clearance certificate (Canada) and ink and roll fingerprinting of the NBI Form No.5 as one of the requirements for the application of permanent resident (Live-in Caregiver Program).

Tip: In this same building, a few rooms from L-1 Identity Solutions is where I applied for US non-immigrant visa before I became a permanent resident.

Sometimes I’m surprise by how easy to get around downtown Calgary. Everything I needed was located in one place close to my favourite landmarks.

This is where the list ends but not the tips.

I decided to add the requirements that an applicant has to bring with to avail the services of an accredited fingerprinting agency in Canada.

Requirements

The following types of identification are acceptable (any two):

  1. Passport
  2. Driver’s License
  3. Birth Certificate
  4. Canadian Citizenship Card or Document
  5. Permanent Resident Card
  6. Certificate of Indian Status
  7. Immigration Documents i.e. work or study permits
  8. Military Family ID Card (MFID)
  9. Record of Landing for Citizenship Applicant
  10. Certificate of Live Birth
  11. Nexus card
  12. Government ID (if employed by a federal or provincial branch of the Government)
  13. Health Card with photo (note: not all provinces accept health cards as valid government issued ID)

I find it convenient to use my Philippine passport and Class 7 learner’s license whenever I have to show any proof of identification.

A little sidetrack: I encourage you to have a Class 7 Learner’s License once you settle in Canada even if you don’t plan to drive soon or have no plan at all.

A driver’s license is always handy in accomplishing immigration-related documents.

Services in Accredited Fingerprinting Agency

  • Electronic fingerprinting
  • Ink and roll fingerprinting
  • Digitized inked fingerprints
  • Criminal record check
  • Commission of oaths
  • Photographs

The City of Calgary is growing and in the future, I am looking forward to update this post for all of the residents of Calgary, saving them time to complete the list of requirements.

Which of the fingerprinting companies you’re planning to visit or already have gone to? Share your experience.

    Thanks for the info! The RCMP website no longer maintains a list of accredited agencies. One to ad would be the Comissionaires, they are Canada wide and located in the NE, more convenient for Calgarians on the north side of the river!

    Thank you so much for this post! I used it to find San fran Morpho. With out this guide I probably wouldn’t have gotten my fingerprints taken care of so quickly.
