How to Get an RCMP Criminal Record Check from Brazil

Living in Brazil and need a Canadian RCMP criminal record check? You don’t have to travel to Canada — Canada Fingerprinting Agency manages the entire fingerprint-based process for applicants in Brazil, from your local fingerprints through to certified RCMP results.

The process from Brazil, 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 Brazil.
  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 Brazil.

Why applicants in Brazil need an RCMP check

People in Brazil 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 Brazil?
Yes. You do not need to travel to Canada — fingerprints taken in Brazil can be submitted to the RCMP through Canada Fingerprinting Agency.

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

How long does it take from Brazil?
Total time depends on RCMP processing plus shipping to and from Brazil. Contact us for a current estimate for your location.
