RCMP-accredited digital LiveScan, ink and FD-258 cards, and on-site mobile service — healthcare, corrections and public-sector screening on southern Georgian Bay. Individuals visit our Barrie office, about 45 minutes via Highway 93; employers can book us to come to them.
Book Your Appointment →Midland and neighbouring Penetanguishene anchor the north end of Simcoe County on Georgian Bay, and between them they carry an unusually heavy background-check load for their size. The area's largest employers are institutional — hospital, mental health and correctional facilities, municipal services and the schools and care homes around them — and those are precisely the roles where a fingerprint-based check gets requested rather than a simple name check.
There is no RCMP-accredited fingerprinting office in Midland itself, so residents drive south to our Barrie location — roughly 45 minutes down Highway 93 — or employers book us to come to them and fingerprint a group on site.
For one person or a family, the Barrie office is the fastest and most affordable route: 231 Bayview Dr, Unit 202, about 45 minutes via Highway 93. Walk in during business hours, no appointment, 10–15 minutes, free parking on site.
Book an appointment →Mobile service is built for employers and organizations fingerprinting a group on-site. Minimum 5 people, with custom pricing based on location and group size — so it is not the same price as an individual walk-in. If it's just you, the Barrie office is faster and cheaper.
Mobile fingerprinting →Also serving Penetanguishene, Tay, Victoria Harbour and Port McNicoll.
