Fingerprints - what exactly do they check?

Dear All

I am seeing so many conflicting points about why exactly the fingerprints are taken during the RP process.

Some are saying to check for previous Qatar sponsors - which i can understand

Some are saying to check if your have a criminal record in Qatar - i can see how this is important

Some are saying to check if you have a criminal record in GCC - i cant see how they can check in other GCC countries and still process things quick enough?

If anyone does know what they check and where etc why not answer here and put a lot of RP applicants out of their misery, worrying if unpaid parking tickets , speeding fines, bounced checks etc etc are going to come back and haunt them.

(that's the main purpose) so if some identification is needed in the future, they have a data base as base.Of course thru this record, if there is a request for assistance on other department or other countries inter-security purpose, then they can assist.

rucksana I am not complaining. Why are you saying that I am complaining? A question was asked, and I answered. Please indicate at which point I complained. As it happens I have no problem with the fingerprinting requirement, and I am sure it acts both as a deterrent and a crime solver.

timebandith. I don't understand y and how people get self satisfaction when complaining others . . .Have u though about the day you lost your car, purse or any valuable item from home / office. Probably because it is not so common here in this state. But it can happen some day and how do you think you can trace them . .Our government here is so alert and takes sufficient precautions to help us.

we all know that no two people have the same finger print so a big help for forensic investigation... maybe next time, you need to be ready with your DNA samples...

Or should I say: it is important for the Modern Slavery System to work?

Basically they assume that sooner or later everyone will become a criminal.

It's also about detecting future offenders
