Fingerprinting Services Outside Canada: Simplifying the Process with 1800 Notary

When you’re abroad and need a Canadian Police Certificate or other fingerprint-based services for immigration, citizenship, employment, or legal purposes, the process can often feel overwhelming. However, at Notary Public Toronto, we offer RCMP-accredited international fingerprinting services that make this process easier. Our services include digitizing ink fingerprints taken outside Canada, ensuring that you meet all Canadian requirements for police checks and background verifications, without the need to travel back to Canada.

What Are Fingerprints for Canadian Police Certificates?

Fingerprinting is frequently required for various legal, immigration, and personal matters, including obtaining Canadian police certificates for citizenship, permanent residency, visa applications, foreign employment, and travel visas. If you are outside Canada and need a Canadian Police Certificate, 1800 Notary can help. We offer a service that digitizes ink fingerprints taken by local police, allowing them to be submitted electronically to the RCMP, simplifying the process significantly.

The Fingerprinting Process for Clients Outside Canada

Obtaining a criminal record check or police certificate while abroad involves several key steps:

1. Ink Fingerprints: You will need to visit your local police station to have two complete sets of ink fingerprints taken, which is the standard procedure. These prints are usually captured on fingerprint cards.

2. Digitization: After you have the ink fingerprints, we will scan and convert them into a digital format here at 1800 Notary. This step is crucial for submitting your fingerprints electronically to the RCMP, ensuring faster processing times compared to traditional ink methods.

3. Document Submission: The digitized fingerprints are submitted to the RCMP for processing. Along with the fingerprints, you will need to provide notarized copies of your IDs (such as your passport and driver’s license) and a signed, passport-sized photo for verification.

4. Processing Time: The timeline depends on the RCMP, but submitting fingerprints digitally ensures that the process is faster. You will receive your criminal record check or police certificate more quickly than if traditional ink methods were used.

Important Tips for Fingerprinting Abroad

To ensure a smooth fingerprinting appointment abroad and that your prints are accepted by the RCMP, follow these important steps:

• Moisturize Your Hands: Dry or cracked skin can lead to poor-quality fingerprints that may be rejected. Make sure to moisturize your hands in the days leading up to your appointment.

• Bring Proper Identification: You will need at least two valid government-issued IDs, including one with a photo (such as a passport or driver’s license).

• Third Party Consent Form: If you are submitting your fingerprints for processing to the RCMP, you will need to sign a Third Party Consent Form. This form gives permission for the RCMP to release the results of your criminal record check to the appropriate authorities.

• Ensure Accurate Information: Double-check that all forms are filled out correctly and include all necessary details. Missing information can delay the process or require you to redo the fingerprints.
