NOTARY PUBLIC SERVICES Suppose you live outside of Canada and are asked to provide a Canadian criminal background check (or Canadian Police Certificate). In that case, you may be concerned that you cannot be fingerprinted in Canada. Nowadays, you can have your fingerprints taken overseas and present them to an accredited fingerprint agency in Canada, like Notarizers, for digitization and uploading to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
How to submit fingerprints from overseas? Get two sets of ink and roll fingerprints, as well as a third-party consent form for fingerprinting, from a fingerprinting agency or police station in your country of residence.
a. Two sets of Ink and roll fingerprints A police station or agency in your country of residence should be capable of capturing two sets of ink and roll fingerprints, each containing ten rolled and ten flat impressions. The fingerprints must be clean and clear enough to be digitized. Moisturizing the hands before having the prints taken may help make them clearer.
