Fingerprinting Services

Fingerprints may be required for employment, name changes, criminal record checks, record suspensions (also known as pardons), Provincial security licences, United States Entry waiver (I-192), immigration purposes, or for employment within the Federal or Provincial Governments.

• For any Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) fingerprinting an official letter from IRCC is required and must include the applicant’s name and client ID
• For other government fingerprinting services to be processed, an official request from the requesting agency/department or an application form will be required
• The applicant must book a fingerprinting appointment, attend the main detachment in person, and provide two pieces of accepted identification (ID) and proof of Burnaby residency

The Burnaby RCMP does not do biometric submissions for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. For locations that provide this service, please visit the following Government of Canada webpage: Where to give your fingerprints and photo (biometrics)

Fees

There is a $60 administration fee payable by cash, Visa, MasterCard, debit card, or money order (made out to the City of Burnaby) that must be paid in full before the fingerprinting application can be processed. The application will be processed while you wait. Please be advised there may also be a $25 federal processing fee which can be paid by the same methods as above. All payments made by credit card will be subject to a 1.75% service fee.

Acceptable forms of ID

Two pieces of acceptable ID (one of which must be Canadian Government issued photo ID) are required for all services provided at Front Counter and at Community Policing Offices. For ID to be considered acceptable, it must have the person's legal name, date of birth and it cannot be expired.

Please note, the new BC Services Card combines the BC Driver’s Licence and Care Card. This Services Card is considered one form of ID.
