How the RCMP Criminal Record Check Process Works from the UK

Obtaining a Canadian police certificate from the United Kingdom involves a few straightforward steps.

1. Complete Your Application Information

The first step is providing accurate personal information and completing the required forms. Your details must match your identification documents to prevent delays during processing.

Important information may include:

  • Full legal name
  • Date of birth
  • Current contact information
  • Reason for requesting the police certificate

2. Have Your Fingerprints Taken in the UK

Because RCMP Certified Criminal Record Checks are fingerprint-based, applicants must have their fingerprints collected by an authorized fingerprinting provider.

Fingerprint services may be available through:

  • Police services that offer fingerprint appointments
  • Authorized fingerprinting companies 
  • Notary Publics

Your fingerprints must be clear and complete to meet RCMP processing requirements.

3. Submit Your Fingerprint Documents

Once your fingerprints have been collected, your completed fingerprint card and supporting documents can be submitted to Worldwide Forensic Services Inc.

Our team checks your documents to ensure they are properly prepared before moving forward with processing.

This helps identify common issues such as:

  • Missing information
  • Incorrect details
  • Poor-quality fingerprint impressions
  • Incomplete documentation

4. Secure Submission to the RCMP

After your application has been reviewed, eligible fingerprint documents are prepared for submission to the RCMP.

5. Receive Your Canadian Police Certificate

Once processing is complete, your RCMP Certified Criminal Record Check will be provided according to your selected delivery method.

Applicants can then submit their completed certificate to the organization requesting their Canadian background check.
