Who we are

Frontier One Inc. is a fingerprinting agency accredited and authorized by the RCMP to electronically capture and submit fingerprints. As a Direct Connect agency, we transmit your fingerprints securely to the RCMP through our own IT and network infrastructure — with no third-party network involved.

Around that core we do everything you need to get a record check accepted, here or abroad: ink fingerprinting, fingerprint cards on FD-258 (FBI) and C-216C (foreign police) forms, international submissions, and a full range of document services.

The credential

Accredited and authorized by the RCMP

RCMP accreditation isn't a badge we bought — it's authorization to do the actual work: capture your fingerprints electronically and submit them straight to the RCMP's national repository. Few agencies hold it. We've held it since 2014.

Accredited agency

Authorized by the RCMP to operate as an accredited electronic fingerprinting agency.

Certified live-scan capture

Your prints are taken digitally on certified live-scan equipment — no smudged ink cards to reject.

Direct Connect submission

Sent to the RCMP over our own secure network — never handed to a third party.

Why it matters

What “Direct Connect” means for you

Most providers hand your fingerprints to a third-party network before they ever reach the RCMP. We don't — and that changes three things: who touches your data, how fast it moves, and who is accountable if something is wrong.

The F1 way Your prints reach the RCMP on our own secure network.

One accountable line. Fewer hands on your data, a faster submission, and a single party responsible end to end: us.

Your prints pass through a third-party network you never chose — an extra hop, an extra point of failure, and shared accountability.

What we stand for

Four convictions that shape every appointment.

A rejected submission costs you weeks. So we capture it right the first time.

Accuracy isn't the fast path or the slow path — it's the only path that doesn't send you back to the start. Our technicians are trained for a clean, acceptable capture on the first visit.

Your fingerprints are yours. No third party ever touches them.

Direct Connect means your data goes from our scanner to the RCMP over our own network — not through an intermediary. Fewer hands, less risk, one accountable party.

A regulated process, explained in plain language.

Most people arrive unsure and on a deadline, often reading in a second language. We tell you exactly what to bring and what happens next — no jargon, no surprises.

Accredited service, close to home and open six days.

Fourteen offices across Ontario and Alberta, Monday to Saturday, most appointments in and out in about fifteen minutes. Getting fingerprinted shouldn't mean taking a day off.
