IMPORTANT MESSAGE

Authentication and Legalization of Canadian Criminal Background Checks from the RCMP

Several countries are requesting that certificates be authenticated by Global Affairs Canada (formerly the Department of Foreign Affairs), and legalized by their Embassy here in Canada. For the signatories to the Hague Convention, this process is called the Apostille. We can help you with in this process and you can choose this option on your order. 

For information on Vulnerable sector check, please read our "Frequently Asked Questions" section.

For information on Privacy Act, please read our "Frequently Asked Questions" section. You can choose this option on your order. Due to the sensitive nature of this request and despite our best efforts, RCMP could send the results directly to the residential address (instead of the stipulated shipping address).

Benefits of Electronic Fingerprinting

Digital (electronic) fingerprinting consists of digitally acquiring a person’s fingerprints using an optical device.

There are several advantages to this method:

  • Non-Staining

    No ink is used, the prints are captured by an optical device. You will never get your fingers dirty.

  • Fast and Easy Process

    Capturing a full set of fingerprints, including both rolled and flat impressions of all ten fingers, is only a matter of minutes.

  • Instant Quality Check

    Each fingerprint gets analyzed to ensure the quality is adequate.

  • Get the Result Faster

    Electronic processing significantly reduces processing time when there is no match to an RCMP fingerprint holding.
