ZR2 Forensics is a specialized forensic firm providing professional fingerprint collection services for international criminal background check applications submitted to authorities such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).

We serve individuals and corporate clients worldwide, supporting applications related to immigration, naturalization, legal proceedings, professional licensing, and regulatory compliance with organizations such as Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the American Bar Association (ABA).

Service Availability in Europe
Clients located within the European Union may be assisted through: 

– Our office in Madrid, Spain
– Home-visit fingerprint collection services, subject to availability

All services are provided with strict confidentiality and personalized support.

Official Cards
We exclusively use official fingerprint forms required by international authorities:

FBI: FD-258 (Applicant Fingerprint Form) and FD-1164 (Identity History Summary Request)
FINRA: FD-258 (Applicant Fingerprint Card), completed in accordance with FINRA registration requirements
BCIA: Bureau of Criminal Information and Analysis / State of California: FD-258
RCMP: C-216C (used by CSIS/RCMP, Canada)

All fingerprint cards are completed on official hard stock paper, in English, and in full compliance with international standards.

Special Cases

If you have any temporary or permanent conditions that may affect fingerprint collection (such as amputations, deformities, or Nagali Syndrome), please inform our team before scheduling your appointment.

In such cases, a certified fingerprint examiner will perform a preliminary assessment and, if needed, issue a justification report or apply special biometric collection procedures—which may include preparation steps or the use of specific creams prior to fingerprinting.
Additional fees may apply.

Acceptance Guarantee
ZR2 Forensics guarantees acceptance of all fingerprint cards by the FBI, BCIA and RCMP.
If a rejection occurs due to the fingerprinting procedure, we will provide a new collection and resubmission at no additional cost at one of our offices.
(Guarantee valid only for applications processed and submitted by ZR2 Forensics.)

Processing Times
On average, ZR2 Forensics completes FBI and RCMP Criminal Record requests up to 50% faster than the official processing time.

When required, we can also issue supporting statements or affidavits for citizenship or legal procedures, certified in the United States or Canada, to justify extended submission deadlines for Criminal Record documents.

Fees and Additional Services
All processing is handled exclusively through our U.S. and Canadian offices, with payments made in U.S. dollars (USD), inclusive of all taxes and government fees.

Optional services include:

• At-home service;
• Apostille service;
• Certified translation;
• Notarizations and affidavits.

Scheduling
Select the nearest office, complete your payment, and book your appointment.

Appointments are typically scheduled within 10 business days, depending on availability at your chosen location.
