FINGERPRINTS FOR GOVERNMENT CONTRACT SECURITY SCREENING

The Government of Canada recently increased the criminal record check requirements for Government Security screenings of private contractors. Although many contractors and their staff previously required a check based only on name and date of birth, this has now been upgraded to checks based on fingerprints, which are far more reliable and conclusive.

Most Government contractor security screenings are handled by the Contract Security Program of Public Services and Procurement Canada (formerly Public Works and Government Services Canada). Application procedures vary based on the level of clearance required. However, even the lowest screening level (“reliability status” at the time of this writing) now requires that fingerprints be taken.

Whether you are renewing your screening under a government contract or program, or are getting a new screening, Red Seal Notary has five convenient fingerprinting locations to serve you.
