RCMP Background Check - Canadian RCMP Record Check

If you live outside Canada and need a Canadian RCMP criminal record check, Live Scan and More can take your fingerprints and facilitate the submission of the prints to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) through a CCRTIS-accredited agency.

This process allows you to obtain a certified Canadian criminal background check for purposes such as immigration, citizenship, employment, or other official requests.

How the Process Works:

1. We take your fingerprints using RCMP Form C-216C or FD-258 fingerprint cards.
2. Your fingerprints are digitized by a CCRTIS-accredited agency.
3. They are then securely submitted to the RCMP for processing.
4.  Once completed, the RCMP mails back the criminal report.

For an additional fee, the report can also be Apostilled or Authenticated for use in other countries.

Important Information for Canadians Applying for U.S. Immigration.
