RCMP Fingerprinting Services from New Zealand

Canadian citizens, permanent residents, former residents, international students, and foreign nationals who have lived in Canada are often asked to obtain an RCMP Certified Criminal Record Check.

Worldwide Forensic Services Inc acts as your trusted Canadian processing partner by:

  • Reviewing your fingerprint documents for accuracy
  • Digitizing ink fingerprints 
  • Electronically submitting fingerprints to the RCMP
  • Monitoring the application process
  • Providing updates throughout processing

Our goal is to make obtaining your Canadian police certificate from New Zealand as straightforward as possible.
