Identity History Summary requests are typically processed by the FBI and the online result will be available within three to five business days after they receive your fingerprint card. Then it will take between two and four weeks for the hard copy of your result to come by mail.

Question 3

I got rejected for my FBI/C-216c/Ink fingerprint card. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Frontier One Inc. will provide you with a free second attempt if the rejecting reason is not because of the fingerprint’s quality due to your existing skin conditions.

Accepted Answer

The federal processing fee of $25 CDN will be applied to certain cases.

Question 7

Does your office keep my fingerprints and personal information?

Accepted Answer

Your fingerprints are sent to the RCMP immediately after they are captured and electronically sent to the RCMP. Once sent, they no longer exist in our systems.

Your personal information is kept on file in our secure filing cabinet for up to 6 months to allow for any follow-ups on the status of your fingerprinting process. After 6 months, all personal information is destroyed using our RCMP-approved shredders.

Question 8

Do I need an FBI card for doing an INK fingerprint if I don't have one?

Accepted Answer

We have FBI FD-258 cards in stock if you require to capture fingerprints by ink.

Question 9

Can FD-258 and C-216C cards only be taken with ink?

Accepted Answer

No, we can take your fingerprints digitally with our livescan machine and print them on either FD-258 or C-216C form for you.

Question 10

When will I need Ink fingerprints?

Accepted Answer

You will need INK fingerprints if the requesting organization only accepts the fingerprints on their specific form (different from FD-258 and C-216C).

Question 11

What is the difference between the FD-258 and FD-1164 form?

Accepted Answer

Two cards have almost the same information and the FBI will accept both cards. The only difference is the FD-1164 is more popular in the US while the FD-258 is the one currently used in Canada.

Question 12

How long does it take the FBI to conduct a background check?

Accepted Answer

Identity History Summary requests are typically processed within three to five business days after receipt of the fingerprint card and take between two and four weeks by mail. This is an only estimated processing time and could be changed at any time. Please refer to the FBI’s website for the most up-to-date information.

Question 13

Do I have to fill out all sections on the FD-258/C-216C fingerprint card?

Accepted Answer

No, you normally will not need to fill out anything on the FD-258 form besides the information we have already printed on the form for you, unless you have instructions from the FBI or the requesting organization asking you to do so.

Question 14

My FD-258/C-216c/Ink fingerprint card is rejected by the requesting organization. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Frontier One Inc. will provide you with a second attempt for free. However, this policy only applies to those without pre-existing skin conditions which prevent us from taking a good set of their fingerprints.

Question 15

What are the documents I need to prepare for my FBI History Summary Checks?

Accepted Answer

To come to us for the fingerprinting service, you will only need to bring 2 valid government IDs but for the actual check by the FBI, please refer to their website to learn more about how and what you need to prepare before sending the fingerprinting card to the FBI.

Question 16

How can I submit my fingerprints to the FBI electronically?

Accepted Answer

It is still impossible to submit fingerprints electronically from Canada to the FBI; instead, we can only give you a fingerprinting card to mail to them for processing.

Question 17

Do I need an FBI form for doing an INK fingerprinting if I don't have one?
