Complete the secure online form — Typically available the same day or by the next business day.
👉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: Use fingerprints when your purpose includes any of the following:
- Immigration to Canada or the United States
- Canadian or foreign citizenship (Spain, Australia, Italy, etc.)
- Adoption, Vulnerable Sector, or a legal request that specifies fingerprints
In that case, our team completes fingerprint-based certificates in person at the Montreal office. Otherwise—if fingerprints are not required—use our Canada-wide CPIC application.
For clarity, review official guidance: RCMP · IRCC – Police Certificates

Next, visit our Montreal location. You can:
- Additionally, walk in during office hours—no appointment required.
- Furthermore, bring valid government photo ID and any forms or reference numbers.
- Finally, receive bilingual service (English & Français).
