Fingerprinting for Your BC Security Guard Licence
Applying for — or renewing — a BC security worker licence? You’ll need RCMP-accredited fingerprinting as part of your application. SekCheck gets it done fast in Surrey, with walk-ins welcome Mon–Sat (Sundays by appointment), so nothing holds up your licence or your job offer.
Why a security licence needs fingerprints
To work as a security guard in British Columbia, you must hold a security worker licence issued under the province’s Security Services Act. As part of that process you’re required to pass a criminal record check — and for the most reliable, government-accepted result, that means fingerprint-based screening submitted electronically to the RCMP. Fingerprints confirm your identity beyond any doubt (names and birthdates can be shared by many people; fingerprints can’t), which is exactly why licensing bodies rely on them.
SekCheck is a fully RCMP-accredited agency, so we capture your prints digitally and submit them securely — no mailing ink cards, no delays.
What to bring to your appointment

Valid government-issued photo ID (passport, driver’s licence, PR card, etc.).

That’s it
No appointment required — walk in during opening hours, or book a time to skip the wait.
How it works — 4 simple steps
- Walk in or book a time at our Surrey office (open Mon–Sat (Sundays by appointment)).
- We capture your fingerprints digitally — it takes just a few minutes.
- We submit them securely to the RCMP as an accredited accredited agency.
- You receive your certified result; when no record is found it’s often back promptly.*
Cost & turnaround
Fingerprinting for a security licence is quick and affordable, and we’ll confirm the current fee when you visit or call. For most applicants with no criminal record, the RCMP returns the certified result within about a few business days. If a record is found, processing can take 120 days or more — so it’s wise to get your prints done early in your licence application.
Renewing your licence?
Licence renewals can also require updated fingerprinting. If your renewal asks for a fresh criminal record check, we handle it the same fast way — walk in or book, and we’ll get you re-submitted without the stress.
