Procedure
The procedure for obtaining your RCMP Fingerprint-based Criminal Record Check is very simple.
We will digitally capture your fingerprints and submit them directly to the RCMP’s Canadian Criminal Real Time Identification Services (CCRTIS).
The RCMP will process your application and issue a hard copy of your RCMP Fingerprint-based Criminal Record Check. This document will be mailed back to your home address or to a third party via Canada Post (regular mail).
Please note: We are not involved in the procedure of issuing or delivering your RCMP Fingerprint-based Criminal Record Check.
