👉I understand that this police clearance certificate is issued by the Charlottetown Police Department using national databases maintained by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). Therefore, the processing location does not affect the results, and the listed city is only the service area, not the issuing authority.
⚠️ Important: Don’t use a name-based check if your purpose requires fingerprints:
- Immigration to Canada or the United States
- Canadian or foreign citizenship (Spain, Australia, Italy, etc.)
- Adoption, the Vulnerable Sector, or any legal request requiring fingerprints
👉 See RCMP-accredited fingerprinting options. Moreover, fingerprint-based services are available only at our Montreal office.
