International Fingerprinting & Digitization

RCMP-Certified Checks, From Anywhere in the World

Living abroad and asked for a Canadian police certificate? You do not need to fly home. Have your fingerprints taken in ink at a local police station or accredited agency where you are, send them to us, and we digitize and submit them electronically to the RCMP - exactly as if you had visited our Toronto office.

Who Uses This Service

• Canadians abroad applying for foreign work permits, visas or residency
• Former residents of Canada needing a police certificate for immigration elsewhere
• Applicants to IRCC who must prove time spent in Canada was clean
• International adoptions, foreign licensing and overseas employment
• People in Canada needing prints prepared for another country's police check

How It Works From Abroad

1. Get inked locally. Visit a police station or fingerprinting service where you live and have all ten fingers rolled in ink on plain fingerprint forms (we email you instructions and an acceptable template).
2. Send us the cards. Courier the original cards with copies of two IDs and our completed consent form to our Toronto office.
3. We digitize and submit. Your ink prints are scanned into the electronic format the RCMP accepts and submitted to CCRTIS, usually the day they arrive.
4. Results go where you need them. The RCMP mails certified results to the address you choose - your home abroad, your lawyer or the requesting agency.

The same service works in reverse - if you are in Toronto and a foreign government wants your prints on its own forms, our ink & roll service completes them to that country's specification.
