Canadian Police Clearance Certificate for Use in Latvia

If you need a Canadian Police Clearance Certificate (CPIC) for work, immigration, or legal matters in Latvia, proper authentication is essential. Fortunately, with the right process, getting your CPIC certified for use in Latvia can be quick and stress-free.

Below is a step-by-step guide to help you through the process efficiently.


Why You Might Need a Canadian Police Clearance Certificate in Latvia

A Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) Certificate confirms whether or not you have a criminal record in Canada. Latvian authorities may request this document for:

  • Employment or work visa applications

  • Residency permits

  • Immigration or legal filings

  • Background checks for government or corporate roles

Ensuring your CPIC is properly authenticated helps avoid costly delays or rejections.


Step-by-Step Guide to Authenticate Your CPIC Certificate for Use in Latvia

Step 1: Submit a Quote Request Online

Start by completing our Quote Request Form. Make sure to include:

  • A request for a Canadian Police Clearance Certificate

  • Indication that the document is for use in Latvia

  • Any additional documents you may need authenticated (e.g., degrees, birth certificates, or marriage documents)

We’ll respond promptly with guidance tailored to your needs.


Step 2: Complete the CPIC Check

Depending on your situation, we can help you obtain either:

  • Name and Date of Birth Check – The most common and fastest online option.

  • Fingerprint-Based Check – Required for some Latvian visa or residence applications. If this applies, we’ll walk you through the fingerprinting process using our trusted partners.


Step 3: Notarization by a Canadian Notary Public

Once your CPIC certificate is issued, it must be notarized in Canada to confirm its authenticity. If you’re using our service, this is handled in-house—saving you time and ensuring full compliance with Latvian standards.


Step 4: Apostille Certification for Latvia

Latvia is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, meaning your CPIC must be apostilled, not legalized through an embassy.

  • We coordinate apostille certification through Global Affairs Canada or a provincial competent authority depending on where the notary is based.

  • Once apostilled, your CPIC is officially recognized for use in Latvia.

This process eliminates red tape and gets your documents ready faster.


Step 5: Secure International Delivery

After the apostille is complete, your CPIC certificate is shipped directly to your address—whether in Latvia or elsewhere—using tracked and secure courier options.
