If you are living outside of Canada right now, the easiest way to obtain a RCMP criminal record check is to complete an online application. Every step of the process can be completed online with the exception of obtaining your fingerprints. To obtain a RCMP criminal record check online, just simply follow the steps below:

  1. Apply online via this link: RCMP Criminal BackgroundCheck Application
  2. If you do not have your fingerprint form ready, you can visit your local police station, notary office, or private fingerprinting agency to take your fingerprints. Some locations will provide you with the RCMP C216-C fingerprint form, but you are always welcomed to print a blank form out and bring it with you to take your fingerprints.
  3. Email the following documents to Apply:
    • 2 pieces of your government issued IDs (e.g., passport, driver’s license, birth certificate, health card, etc.)
    • A full scan or photo of your completed fingerprint form

    If you are unsure about what IDs are acceptable, send us an email to confirm!

  4. Our staff will review your documents. Upon our confirmation, mail your original fingerprint form to our office:

    The Fingerprint Room Inc.

    1131-11871 Horseshoe Way

    Richmond, BC, Canada, V7A 5H5

    *Note: We cannot accept digital or photocopies of your fingerprints – must be original hardcopy.

  5. When we receive your package, we will digitize your fingerprints and submit them to RCMP in Ottawa, where they issue your certificate. The processing time is approximately 5 to 10 business days. Nonetheless, if a criminal record is found, RCMP may take up to 120 business days to issue your document. The fee for this shipping service is included in our service package.
  6. Once we receive your issued RCMP certificate back at our office, we can send you an electronic copy to your email as an additional option.
  7. We will courier the original document to your desired address. We use UPS worldwide express, which takes on average 4 to 5 days from Canada to reach your location. A tracking number will be provided to you.
