Live Scan vs Ink-and-Roll
Traditional ink-and-roll fingerprinting can sometimes result in smudged, unreadable, or light impressions that fail FBI or RCMP quality checks, leading to application rejections and weeks of delays.
Digital Live Scan uses advanced optical or capacitive sensors to capture high-resolution images of your fingerprints without ink. The software immediately grades the print quality, ensuring the captured images meet the strict biometric standards required by international police agencies.
Once captured digitally, the prints are formatted and printed directly onto the required physical cards (such as the US FD-258 or Canadian C-216C) using specialized, high-definition printers. This physical card is then couriered for processing.

Digital Fingerprinting FAQ
Is digital fingerprinting available for RCMP applications from India?
RCMP applications from India still need the correct C-216C card and a Canadian submission route. PCC Police Check captures the fingerprints in India, and RCMP submission is coordinated through its Official India Partner of Frontier One Inc., RCMP Accredited.
What's the difference between ink and live-scan fingerprinting for FBI/RCMP purposes?
Ink fingerprinting places rolled and flat impressions directly onto a physical card, while live scan captures the fingerprints electronically so the technician can review quality immediately. The right method depends on the agency and form you are submitting.
Why do some agencies charge more for digital vs ink fingerprinting?
Digital capture usually costs more to operate because it uses scanning equipment, software checks, and high-quality card printing. Ask for a clear quote before booking so you know what is included without needing to compare vague package names.
What happens if my RCMP fingerprints are rejected?
A rejection normally means the fingerprint ridges were not readable enough, not that the clearance result is negative. You would usually need a new capture and resubmission, which is why quality checking at the appointment matters.
What's the difference between FD-258 and C-216C fingerprint cards?
FD-258 is used for FBI Identity History Summary Checks, while C-216C is used for RCMP Certified Criminal Record Checks. They may look similar to applicants, but the agency fields and submission routes are different.
