Who requires fingerprints?
Fingerprints may be required for positive identification that a criminal record does or does not exist at the RCMP National Repository of Criminal Records and/or for elimination purposes of a record suspension for the Vulnerable Sector. The RCMP fee to submit fingerprints is $25 unless it is for volunteer purposes and the applicant is able to provide a volunteer letter from a bona fide agency as described under "General Information," with the volunteer letter the fingerprint fee is then waived.
For applicants who decline fingerprint submissions or fail to attend for fingerprints within 60 days the VSC will indicate that
the document is incomplete and no refunds will be issued.
Please note that the timeline for receiving the
results of your Record Check may be delayed if your record is complex and
requires further research.
