What is ink & roll
fingerprinting?
-
Ink & roll is the traditional way of capturing fingerprints for the purpose of applying for a criminal record search or a police certificate.
​
-
In Canada, ink & roll has been replaced by digital or electronic fingerprinting.
​
-
However, some foreign countries are still required fingerprints to be captured by actual ink in order to obtain their criminal background checks.
​
Ink fingerprinting is a traditional method of collecting fingerprints. Ink Fingerprint can be provided on any card you need.
Today, ink fingerprinting is still required for some reasons. For examples, when you are applying for nursing/professional license in some States that you do not reside in or Foreign countries that require fingerprinting for police checks don't accept the Canadian Standard Fingerprinting Card (C216C), ink fingerprinting might be required
​
Frontier One only uses high-quality ink pads and well-trained fingerprinting technicians to avoid over-inking and smudging in fingerprinting.
