How long does it take to get an RCMP Criminal Record Check from UAE?
It can take anywhere from 3 to 120 days. This processing time can vary, depending on the RCMP's current workload and whether your fingerprints require further verification.
How will I receive my final RCMP Criminal Record Check results?
After your official results are issued by the RCMP, physical documents will be sent to your doorstep in the UAE via secure international courier.
Can I just courier my fingerprints straight to the RCMP myself?
No. The RCMP doesn't accept fingerprints directly from individuals, no matter where you're applying from. They only accept submissions from companies accredited in Canada, so you'll need to go through one.
I already got fingerprinted somewhere else in the UAE. Can Globeia help with further submission, or does it need to be redone?
As long as your fingerprints are on the correct form (C216C or equivalent) and meet quality standards, you can choose the services based on your requirements. Globeia will courier your physical cards to Globeia Incorporated in Canada, for digitization and submission to the RCMP..
How do I know which type of RCMP criminal record check I need?
It depends on the requirements of the authority or organization requesting the background check. They'll usually specify whether they need a fingerprint-based or name-based check.
How can I get fingerprints done outside Canada?
If you're outside Canada, in UAE, for example, you can get fingerprinted at a local police station, through a professional fingerprinting technician, or by booking a doorstep fingerprinting service like Globeia. Your fingerprints need to be taken on the official C216C form or an accepted equivalent to be valid.
What type of photo IDs can I upload?
You will need two government-issued IDs, with at least one of them including your photo, DOB, and signature. Our clients usually use their passport and driver’s license, but any government issued identity documents are acceptable.
