Accreditation
RCMP-accredited. Verifiable. Since 2014.
Frontier One is accredited by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police as a Direct Connect company. Here's exactly what that authorizes — and how to confirm it yourself.
Authorized to capture and submit — nothing more
We capture your fingerprints on certified live-scan equipment and transmit them straight to the RCMP. We don't process them, and we have no access to the criminal-record database.
-
Capture & submit only Authorized to capture your prints electronically and transmit them to the RCMP — nothing more.
-
Certified live-scan Prints taken digitally on certified live-scan equipment, formatted to the RCMP standard.
-
No database access We never see or hold your criminal record — the RCMP processes and returns it directly.
What RCMP accreditation actually takes
Accreditation is a lengthy, rigorous process — not a form you fill in. Every Frontier One office and staff member is vetted before a single fingerprint is captured.
-
Personnel security screening
Every staff member undergoes a thorough RCMP security screening before they are cleared to handle fingerprints.
-
Physical site inspection
Each office is physically inspected and approved by the RCMP before it can operate.
-
Approved storage & destruction
We purchase RCMP-approved locking filing cabinets and a cross-cut shredder for secure storage and disposal.
-
Ongoing accreditation
Accreditation is maintained continuously — F1 has held it since 2014 across all Ontario and Alberta offices.
Don't take our word for it
The RCMP publishes the official list of accredited private fingerprinting companies. Look up Frontier One there to confirm our accreditation independently.
