Currently residing in Mong Kok, Tsim Sha Tsui, Causeway Bay, or other areas of Hong Kong and require a RCMP criminal record check for travel, visa, immigration, or employment uses? You do not need to travel to Canada to obtain your RCMP criminal record check, but you will need to take your fingerprints in Hong Kong and submit them to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s Canadian Criminal Real Time Identification Services (CCRTIS).

Where to Take Your Fingerprints in Hong Kong?

Fingerprints can be taken free of charge with the Hong Kong Police Force by booking an appointment with them. In Hong Kong, this is the most common and reliable way to have your fingerprints taken. You can also take your fingerprints at a notary office or private fingerprinting companies in Hong Kong.

Ensure your fingerprints are taken in black ink. Red, blue, purple or any other colour ink are not accepted. Also, do NOT use calligraphy ink or watercolour as the prints will turn out too dark and wet, which can lead to a quality rejection by the RCMP.

The completed fingerprint form should have the following present:

  • The applicant’s basic information (name, birthdate, address, etc.)
  • *Signature of the applicant and the officer who took the prints
  • Official stamp/seal of the police department or fingerprinting agency
