Apostille: An Efficient Process for Authenticating Certified Criminal Record Check Certificates
When applying for a residency or work visa in another country, or renewing existing documents, you must normally produce a Canadian criminal background check certificate with an apostille for approval.
We provide three types of criminal records check certifications.
- Certificate issued by the federal government
- Issued by the province
- Issued electronically
The RCMP criminal record check certificate is handled at the Royal Canadian Mounted Police headquarters in Ottawa and is valid across the national and local levels. The RCMP criminal record check certificate is the most reliable option because it conducts a thorough search of fundamental personal information, including name, fingerprints, gender, and date of birth. Obtaining this certificate requires you to send in your fingerprints.
Local police services in Quebec provide access to provincial and electronic criminal record check certificates at municipal and provincial offices. Because fingerprints are not required, the applicant’s identification can only be verified using their name and date of birth.
Criminal record check certificates issued in Quebec, Canada, must go through validation or apostille procedures before being recognized as official legal documents in other countries. According to judicial standards, provincial criminal record check certificates must be notarized and certified by a provincial agency.
The verification process examines the official seal and signature on your certificate to check that the criminal record information provided by police departments is correct, including detailed facts regarding your criminal background. More than 120 countries have signed the Hague Apostille Convention, which makes the process easier by eliminating the need for embassy or consulate certification of documents. As of January 11, 2024, this convention will allow Canadian documents to be apostilled, making it easier for people to use them around the world.

Our Latest Thoughts on Canadian Documents
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Might Your Criminal Record Check Certificate Not Qualify for Attestation?
While we have significant experience in criminal record check certificate attestation and apostille services, some documents intended for attestation may not meet the criteria for authentication. Authorities may refuse to issue an attestation or apostille for various reasons.
Authentication of your Criminal Record Check Certificate or related document is not possible if it does not bear the original signature or seal from the relevant authority. Documents must have verified markings before proceeding.
Authentication is not possible if the issuing authority cannot confirm the signature or seal on the document. This is often noted with obsolete or unauthorized markings.
Official stamps cannot be affixed to laminated or protectively coated documents, resulting in the suspension of certification or apostille services. Ensure that your documents stay unchanged.
Authorities may deny attestation if there are concerns about the authenticity or intended use of the criminal record check certificate, particularly in relation to fraud or any charged or convictions under government laws.
Do You Need Notarization Before Acquiring a Criminal Record Check Certificate Attestation?
Criminal record check certificates require notarization services prior to the conditional government authority performing authentication for attestation or apostille. Documents should be notarized in accordance with their specific nature and the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which they were prepared.
Do You Need Translation Before Obtaining an Attestation for a Criminal Record Check Certificate?
If the criminal record check certificate and documents are not in English or French, they must be translated by certified translators. The authentication mechanism allows authorized individuals to verify the document’s contents. The translation must follow the rules set by the government, and keep in mind that it takes time to do things right.
If possible, consider hiring a Canadian notary who speaks English, French, and the language of your document. Notaries need to obtain supporting documents to ensure they understand and agree with what they’re signing. This backs up the original language by confirming that the government approves official languages.
The way to check multilingual documents depends on the situation. The type of document, its intended use, and the country’s laws all affect vérification. Candidates who follow these rules cut down on delays and denials in the assessment process. Applications sent by mail or those that lack sufficient information may take longer to process, potentially leading to claims of inconvenience.
How Long Does It Take to Complete a Criminal Record Check Certificate Attestation?
By the end of September 2024, Global Affairs Canada will process apostille requests for certified criminal record check certificates in an average of 10 business days. Also, applicants should allow an extra five business days for their documents to be sent back.
Effective January 11, 2024, provincial competent authorities will be able to validate all kinds of documentation, including certificates about criminal records. The department or entity assigned to provide certificates will determine the length of time required to perform these services.
The Legalization Service Centre (LSC) provides an efficient service for obtaining an attested criminal record check certificate. Collaborating with our knowledgeable team and their vast network enhanced efficiency and expedited processing.
What Are the Key Considerations for Criminal Record Check Certificate Attestation?
The processing time and fees for applying a criminal background check may vary based on the destination country’s regulations and issuing body. Please contact one of our consultants for the most up-to-date cost and processing time information.
Countries that follow the Hague Apostille Convention require an apostille or attestation. Countries not members may be compelled to follow standard authentication and legalization procedures for official documents, such as the criminal record check certificate.
Although an apostille or attestation never expires, the legal validity of a criminal background check certificate may be affected by the destination country’s legislation. Before confirming their travel plans, applicants should double-check these requirements.
