Ink Fingerprinting in Alberta for Screening Purposes
At Edmonton Fingerprinting Services, we have trained specialists to produce high-quality ink and roll fingerprints for standardized fingerprint cards and police clearance applications around the world.
While most applicants will be able to take advantage of digital fingerprinting sessions, traditional ink and roll fingerprints are required for foreign police checks (including an FBI check), some high level Canadian security screening purposes and for those individuals whose fingerprints are of too poor quality for electronic submission.
What Is Ink and Roll Fingerprinting?
Ink and roll fingerprinting is the traditional way to capture fingerprints for cross-referencing with police and governmental databases. While most applicants will be able to take advantage of digital fingerprinting sessions, traditional ink and roll fingerprints are required for foreign police checks (including an FBI check), some high-level Canadian security screening purposes, and for those individuals whose fingerprints are of too poor quality for electronic submission.
Ink fingerprints are taken by rolling the person’s fingertips in ink before rolling the ink-covered fingertips across a pre-prepared card. Care must be taken to ensure fingers are rolled from one side of the fingernail to the other.
