Getting Fingerprints for an RCMP Criminal Record Check in Surrey for International Use
If you live or work in Surrey, British Columbia, or the surrounding Fraser Valley region, and need to use a Canadian RCMP Criminal Record Check abroad, the process can seem complex — but it doesn’t have to be.
Through our Surrey Service Centre, Global Document Solutions (GDS) makes the process simple, secure, and internationally recognized in partnership with Pacific Fingerprint Services Inc., an RCMP-accredited agency specializing in digital and ink fingerprinting for both Canadian and overseas clients.
Whether you need your record for immigration, employment, residency, or international verification, we coordinate everything from fingerprint capture to RCMP submission and Apostille or Legalization — all handled by professionals with decades of experience.
Why Fingerprinting Is Required for RCMP Criminal Record Checks
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) requires fingerprints to confirm a person’s identity when issuing a Certified Criminal Record Check.
Unlike name-based searches, fingerprint submissions provide accurate, verified results directly from the RCMP’s Canadian Criminal Real Time Identification Services (CCRTIS) — recognized as the only official record suitable for international use.
Once the certificate is issued, GDS ensures it’s Apostilled (for Hague Convention countries) or Authenticated and Legalized (for non-Hague destinations) so that it’s accepted globally by government, consular, and corporate authorities.
