Remote Criminal Record Check by Fingerprinting in Montreal
If you are leaving to work or study abroad, or already live there, you can get your Canadian criminal record by fingerprinting without coming in person. Our Old Longueuil office tells you over the phone which route fits your situation and follows your file until the result is delivered. Our clients come from Brossard, Saint-Hubert, Boucherville and La Prairie, among other places.

Remote fingerprinting in brief
Once you are abroad, go to a police service or an authorized agency in your country of residence. They take your prints on the official sheet, which you download from our website; a Live scan printout is also accepted.
You then mail the sheet to our Quebec City office at 4715 avenue des Replats, Suite 195, Québec, QC G2J 1B8, since that is where every remote application is processed. An email confirms its arrival along with the invoice to pay online, and we forward the file to the RCMP. For the steps and fees, see our remote criminal records by fingerprinting page.

Frequently asked questions in the Montreal area
Which form should the police service abroad use?
The C-216 fingerprint form, which you download from this page or from our service page. Print it and bring it to the police service or agency in your country of residence, since your prints must be taken on that specific document.
Can the Longueuil office help if my file is processed in Quebec City?
Yes. Our Longueuil team remains your contact at 450-910-1701 for any question about your file, even when the sheet is processed in Quebec City. Call them if you are unsure which form to use or which Canadian address should receive the result.
How long before I get the result?
It usually takes one to four weeks, delivery included, after your fingerprints and payment reach us. The official document is mailed to a Canadian address only.
