Applicants based in Italy 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 Italy.
The process from Italy, step by step

- Send them to us. Mail or courier your completed fingerprint card to Canada Fingerprinting Agency in Canada.
- We submit to the RCMP. We forward your prints to the RCMP’s national repository for a certified, fingerprint-based criminal record check.
- Receive certified results. Your official RCMP results are returned to you in Italy.
Why applicants in Italy need an RCMP check
People in Italy 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 Italy?
Yes. You do not need to travel to Canada — fingerprints taken in Italy can be submitted to the RCMP through Canada Fingerprinting Agency.
Is a local Italy police certificate the same as an RCMP check?
No. A local certificate is issued by Italy’s own authorities, while an RCMP criminal record check comes from Canada’s national police database — Canadian programs usually require the RCMP version specifically.
