Criminal Record Check

The West Vancouver Police can assist you in obtaining a Certified Criminal Record Check (CCRC) by fingerprints. We will take your fingerprints and submit them to the RCMP in Ottawa. They will conduct a search and in most cases mail the results directly back to you. The service timeline for the fingerprint search by the RCMP is determined by their policy and volume and usually takes 14 to 28 days but in some cases can take up to 120 days.  The letter you receive in the mail from the RCMP is the Certified Criminal Record Check and comes on RCMP letterhead with an embossed seal.

Many foreign agencies require a Certified Criminal Record Check for the following purposes:

  • Travel Visa
