Getting Your Canadian RCMP Check from Taiwan

Applicants based in Taiwan regularly need an RCMP criminal record check for Canadian immigration and related programs. Canada Fingerprinting Agency takes care of the fingerprint submission and RCMP certification so you can complete it remotely from Taiwan.

The process from Taiwan, step by step

  1. Get fingerprinted locally. Have ink-and-roll fingerprints taken on the RCMP’s C-216C fingerprint form by a local provider in Taiwan.
  2. Send them to us. Mail or courier your completed fingerprint card to Canada Fingerprinting Agency in Canada.
  3. We submit to the RCMP. We forward your prints to the RCMP’s national repository for a certified, fingerprint-based criminal record check.
  4. Receive certified results. Your official RCMP results are returned to you in Taiwan.

Why applicants in Taiwan need an RCMP check

People in Taiwan most often request an RCMP criminal record check for Canadian immigration (Express Entry or permanent residence), citizenship, work or study permits, or professional licensing — cases where Canadian authorities require a fingerprint-based police certificate rather than a local one.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get an RCMP criminal record check while living in Taiwan?
Yes. You do not need to travel to Canada — fingerprints taken in Taiwan can be submitted to the RCMP through Canada Fingerprinting Agency.

Is a local Taiwan police certificate the same as an RCMP check?
No. A local certificate is issued by Taiwan’s own authorities, while an RCMP criminal record check comes from Canada’s national police database — Canadian programs usually require the RCMP version specifically.

Total time depends on RCMP processing plus shipping to and from Taiwan. Contact us for a current estimate for your location.
