We also offer mobile fingerprinting appointments across the UK, where our trained associates capture your fingerprints and manage the mailing process. This maintains the required chain of custody from fingerprinting through submission, without relying on third-party vendors or intermediaries. From your initial booking to the delivery of your results, your RCMP criminal record check from the UK is managed through a single point of contact.

Disclaimer: RCMP processing times are determined solely by the RCMP and vary depending on application volumes, fingerprint verification requirements, and individual circumstances. International shipping to and from Canada is additional and should be factored into your overall timeline. Translation, apostille, authentication, legalization, or other optional document services require additional processing time.

Certified Translation Services for RCMP Criminal Record Checks

The original RCMP criminal record check is issued in English. For most applications within the United Kingdom, no translation is required, as English is the primary language accepted by UK authorities, employers, and institutions. But if your document is part of a third-country application which uses another primary language, your report might need to be translated using a qualified translator.

Why Choose Globeia for Certified Document Translation?

Translations in 50+ Languages: Professionally certified translations for English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, Arabic, Mandarin, and many other languages.

More Than Just RCMP Criminal Record Checks: Translate support for passports, birth certificates, marriage certificates, academic records, court documents, and other supporting documents.

One Coordinated Service: Combine certified translations with apostille, authentication, legalization, and secure international courier delivery through a single provider.

Experienced Translators: We work with qualified professional translators who understand the documentation requirements of immigration authorities, employers, universities, and licensing bodies.

Secure Document Handling: our documents are managed through secure systems and handled with strict confidentiality throughout the translation process.

Why You Cannot Submit RCMP Fingerprints Directly from the UK

Unlike many background check systems, the RCMP does not accept electronic fingerprint submissions directly from applicants outside Canada. Fingerprints captured in the United Kingdom must first be received by an RCMP-accredited fingerprinting agency in Canada, where they are digitized and electronically submitted to RCMP CCRTIS using the approved submission process.

Globeia’s workflow was built specifically for this requirement. Our UK and Canadian teams work together as a single operation.

What This Means for You

Fewer providers to coordinate throughout your application.

One team managing your case from start to finish.

A clear submission pathway from the UK to the RCMP in Canada.

Optional document services available alongside your application.

A streamlined experience designed specifically for UK applicants.

When Should You Apply for an RCMP Criminal Record Check from the UK?

As a general guide, many applicants choose to begin the process 8-10 weeks before their documents are due. If you're applying during particularly busy periods, such as the summer relocation season (June to September), the start of the academic year, or around the Christmas and New Year holidays, allow additional time for fingerprinting appointments, international shipping, and document processing.

If you have a fixed deadline, let our team know when you apply. We can recommend the most appropriate delivery options and identify any additional document requirements early, helping you plan your application with more confidence.

Apostille, Authentication and Legalization Services for Canada RCMP Criminal Record Check

For many applications, receiving an RCMP criminal record check is just part of the application process. If you're submitting it to an authority outside Canada, you may also need the document to be apostilled or authenticated and legalized before it will be accepted. The exact requirement depends on the country where your RCMP Criminal Record Check will be used.

If Your Destination Country Is a Hague Apostille Convention Member
Since Canada joined the Hague Apostille Convention in 2024, Canadian public documents, including RCMP Criminal Record Checks, can be apostilled for use in other member countries, such as the United Kingdom. In most cases, this removes the need for embassy or consular legalization, making the document easier to use internationally.

If Your Destination Country Is Not a Hague Apostille Convention Member
Some countries still require the traditional authentication and legalization process. In these cases, your RCMP criminal record check must first be authenticated by the appropriate Canadian authority before being legalized by the embassy or consulate of the destination country.

How Globeia Can Help

Assessment of the certification requirements for your destination country.

Coordination of Canadian apostille services where applicable.

Authentication and embassy legalization for non-Hague countries.

Secure international courier delivery of your completed documents.

Whether you're applying for immigration, employment, professional licensing, study, or legal purposes, Globeia can coordinate the document certification process alongside your RCMP Criminal Record Check. What you receive at the end is a submission-ready package for international use.

Frequently Asked Questions About RCMP Criminal Record Checks Online United Kingdom

What is an RCMP Criminal Record Check?

An RCMP Criminal Record Check, also called a Canadian Criminal Record Check, is an official document issued by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. It verifies whether an individual has a criminal record in Canada and is sometimes required for UK immigration, employment, volunteering, or study purposes.

Who needs an RCMP Criminal Record Check in the UK?

Anyone applying for work visas, permanent residency, volunteer positions, study permits, or employment background verification in the UK may need an RCMP criminal record check. It is mandatory for situations where Canadian criminal history verification is required.

How long is an RCMP criminal record check valid for?

The RCMP does not assign an expiry date to the certificate itself; the issuing date is printed, and the receiving authority determines how recent the document needs to be. Many organisations and immigration programs consider a document valid for three to six months from the date of issue, but this varies widely. It is always best to confirm the specific validity window with the requesting body before beginning the application.

What happens if my fingerprints are rejected by the RCMP after submission?

If the RCMP rejects a set of fingerprints due to quality issues, a resubmission with a new, properly captured fingerprint form is required. Globeia’s quality review is designed to minimise this risk, but when a rejection does occur, a fresh fingerprinting session will be arranged. Any additional RCMP processing times will restart from the point the new prints are accepted.

Is a digital copy of the RCMP certificate accepted by UK employers or authorities?

Acceptance of a digital copy depends entirely on the employer’s or authority’s own policies; many UK institutions still expect an original, physically mailed certificate or a certified true copy. The optional PDF copy provided through Globeia is a convenience for record-keeping and advance viewing, but the requesting organisation should be asked directly whether a digital scan is sufficient.

Do I need to be a Canadian citizen to apply for an RCMP criminal record check?

No, Canadian citizenship is not required. The RCMP processes criminal record checks based on fingerprints for anyone who has lived in Canada or requires a Canadian criminal record check, regardless of nationality. An applicant can be a foreign national, a permanent resident who has since moved abroad, or someone who has never held Canadian status but spent time in Canada.

What's the difference between a name-based check and a fingerprint-based RCMP criminal check?

A name and date-of-birth check searches the Canadian Police Information Centre database based solely on personal identifiers. It may sometimes produce incomplete matches or miss records if there are discrepancies in aliases or dates of birth. A fingerprint-based RCMP criminal record check confirms identity biometrically against the national criminal record repository, making it the more comprehensive and authoritative option.

What payment methods are available, and can I pay in British pounds?

You can pay securely through Stripe or PayPal. Stripe accepts major debit and credit cards, while PayPal allows payment using your PayPal account or a debit or credit card. Although Globeia's services are priced in Canadian dollars (CAD), payments can be made in British pounds (GBP). The currency conversion is handled automatically by your payment provider.

Will an RCMP criminal record check show offences from countries other than Canada?

The RCMP check is limited to information held in the national repository managed by the RCMP, which contains Canadian criminal records, convictions, and, in some cases, certain discharges that have not been removed. It does not include criminal records from the United Kingdom, the United States, or any other country unless those convictions were subsequently entered into a Canadian database through a formal information-sharing agreement.

What happens if my document shows a criminal record?

If your fingerprints match a criminal record, the RCMP may require additional verification, which can increase processing times. The results are issued by the RCMP, and it is up to the requesting authority to decide how they are assessed.
