- Apart from giving a personal address, you have to give them a third-party address. The results of RCMP certifications will be sent to either address.
- Everyone applies for the certified copies with a reason in their mind. Sometimes, they need the copies so that they can obtain a Canadian citizenship, visa, or to get permission for immigrating to Canada. You’ve to mention the right reason behind getting the copy.
With the advancement in technology, accessing these kinds of copies has become very easy. Choose a fingerprinting service wisely and visit their website. Generally, they provide a download link for the form on their website. Most times, some of the services can allow you to submit your fingerprint electronically. This will allow them to check the criminal record accurately. It also minimizes the risk of wrongly associating the record with a person having the same name. Here, the person has to put his hands in the scanner and the print will be taken. It is as easy as that.
However, it’s not only the fingerprints that are required to hand over the certified copies. Some other documents are also needed to complete the process smoothly and you can submit online or at the service provider’s office. - Valid permanent residency card
- Valid photo id proof like the BC identification card
- Valid nexus card
- Birth certificate
- If you’re a student, current student ID is needed

Several international fingerprinting services do not accept any kind of credit or debit cards. So, it will be better if you know their payment mode before availing their service.
Sometimes, the fingerprints cannot be processed due to different reasons. In such a situation, the police will have to submit a note that will explain in detail why the fingerprints cannot be taken through the scanner. This note should also consist of your rejected document control number. If you have chosen a reliable service provider, then they will get your fingerprints reviewed before collecting the original documents. It is indeed a time-saving process that takes away a lot of frustration from the seeker’s mind.
