Navigating Through the Process: A Step-by-Step Guide to Obtaining RCMP Certified Background Checks
Step 1: Ensure Necessity
Ensure an RCMP report is required for your purpose (e.g., job, visa).
If you are asked to provide biometrics for the Government of Canada, you will have to go to Service Canada for their services.
If you are asked to obtain a RCMP criminal record check, you will need to go to an RCMP accredited private agency, such as F1 Fingerprint (Frontier One Inc), to get your fingerprints taken.
Step 2: Prepare Documents
- Obtain a request letter/email/instructions (depending on your case, these might be optional or required).
- For example:
- If you are applying for PR and need your fingerprints to be taken, most of the time, we will not require any other documents other than your 2 IDs.
- If you are applying for your Citizenship, we will need to see the letter that you received from IRCC to input your application number in your fingerprint application, and let the RCMP know where to directly send your application.
- If you are applying for a Federal job, there will be a very specific instruction that we will need to check and follow to make sure that your application will be send to the right department.
