Police Clearance Certificate Montreal

Online CPIC & Fingerprinting

Good to know: Our Montreal office handles all fingerprinting. Meanwhile, if your purpose does not require fingerprints, you can apply online for a name-based CPIC anywhere in Canada.

Start Your Check

⚠️ 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

Fingerprinting at our Montreal office

First, confirm whether your request requires RCMP-accredited digital fingerprints. For example, immigration, Canadian or foreign citizenship, adoption, and Vulnerable Sector checks all require them.

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).
