Why Your Fingerprints Must Be Submitted Through Canada

Applicants in New Zealand cannot simply mail their fingerprint forms directly to the RCMP for a fingerprint-based Criminal Record Check. Fingerprint submissions from outside Canada must be processed through an RCMP-accredited Canadian fingerprinting company. It converts the ink impressions into the required electronic format and submits them to the RCMP’s CCRTIS.

The Canadian submission stage allows overseas fingerprint impressions to enter the RCMP’s electronic processing system. An eligible Canadian entity receives the original fingerprint forms, converts the physical impressions into the required electronic submission, and submits it to the RCMP.

Why You May Need a Canadian Criminal Record Check in New Zealand

A Canadian Criminal Record Check may be required when a New Zealand application asks for evidence of your criminal history in Canada. This is relevant if you have previously lived, worked, or studied in Canada and are now completing an immigration, employment, or professional application in New Zealand.

Common Reasons for an RCMP Criminal Record Check:

New Zealand residence or visa applications

Employment and pre-employment screening

Professional registration or licensing

New Zealand citizenship applications

Education or registration requirements

Adoption and other legal proceedings

Applications requiring criminal history from previous countries of residence

RCMP Criminal Record Check Delivery Options in New Zealand

Once your Canadian criminal record check has been issued, you have several ways to receive it in New Zealand. Choose the option that best fits your application deadline and whether your receiving authority requires the original document.

Secure PDF Delivery: Receive a digital copy of your RCMP result by email for applications that accept electronic documents.

Standard Mail: Have the document sent by regular mail to a Canadian or international address.

Tracked Courier Delivery: Globeia can receive the result on your behalf and arrange tracked international courier delivery to your address in New Zealand. A PDF copy can also be provided by email.

If your receiving authority specifically requires the original RCMP result, check its delivery and document requirements before selecting the PDF-only option.

Payment & Consent Requirements for Your RCMP Application from New Zealand

Globeia keeps the administrative side of your RCMP application online, including payment and the required consent documentation.

Consent forms: Complete the applicable RCMP consent forms provided through your Globeia application. Additional third-party consent may be required if the result is being released to someone other than you.

PayPal: Pay through your PayPal account or use an eligible debit or credit card.

Stripe: Pay directly using a debit or credit card.

Online process: Payment and form instructions are provided through your Globeia application, so you can complete these requirements before sending your original fingerprint forms to Canada.

Apostille & Authentication for Your RCMP Criminal Record Check

Sometimes an RCMP Criminal Record Check needs additional authentication to be accepted by an authority. The exact requirement depends on the organisation receiving your document and how it will be used.

New Zealand is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so an apostille may be the appropriate authentication route for eligible Canadian documents. Confirm the requirement with the authority requesting your RCMP Criminal Record Check before ordering an additional service.

Additional Document Services from Canada

Once your RCMP Criminal Record Check is issued, Globeia can coordinate:

Canadian Apostille – Coordination of apostille services through Global Affairs Canada.
Authentication & Legalization – Additional document authentication where an apostille is not the required route.
Certified Translation – Translation of your RCMP document when the receiving authority requires a language other than English.
Notarization – Notarization services where specifically required for your application.

This keeps the RCMP criminal record check separate from any post-issuance document requirements. You can add only the services your receiving authority actually asks for.
