If you are applying for a visa, immigration, or employment in countries such as China, Spain, Portugal, South Korea, Panama, Costa Rica, Croatia, Morocco etc., you might require a Canadian Police Clearance Certificate and have it apostilled in Canada. Apostille is previously known as legalization or authentication. After January 11th 2024, Canadian Apostille replaced legalizations and authentications with consulates and country embassies, making the process much more convenient. A document apostilled in Canada can be used in the 127 countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. Further consulate and embassy authentication remains required if the destination country is not a member of the convention.

The Fingerprint Room Inc. can help you obtain your Canadian Police Clearance Certificate with Canadian Apostille. We have offices in Richmond BC and Calgary AB. The process is easy and simple:

  1. Book an appointment at one of our offices in Richmond BC or Calgary AB to have your fingerprints taken.
  2. On the day of your appointment, bring two pieces of government-issued IDs. We will take your fingerprints when you visit us and submit to RCMP to conduct a Canadian police clearance certificate. The average turnaround time for RCMP is 5-10 business days.
  3. Once we receive your Canadian police clearance certificate, we will process your Canadian apostille. Apostille currently takes about 10-15 business days on top of RCMP’s turnaround time.
  4. Once we receive your apostilled certificate, we will verify that everything is done correctly and contact you to pick up the completed document at our office. If you will be travelling, we can also arrange courier service to ship your apostilled certificate to you.

Should you have other documents that require a Canadian apostille, please email us a scan or photo of the document you wish to be apostilled. Our staff will take a look at your document and let you know if it can be apostilled in Canada.
