Processing fee
Civil Fingerprinting Screening Services
There is a processing fee of $25 CAN or US equivalent per criminal record and/or vulnerable sector check. Payment must be made by certified cheque or money order to the Receiver General for Canada.
This fee does not apply to all requests. Read the following information carefully to find out which applies to you:
| Fee required | Fee not required |
|---|---|
| Adoptions - Canadian and International | Applications for Canadian citizenship |
| Foreign travel, Visas, U.S. Waiver, Border Crossing | Applications for Immigration to Canada |
| Employment; private industries | Federal Government Screening when requested by Departmental Security Officers |
| Permanent residency in foreign countries (except Canada) | Canadian Police Force personnel when requested by Canadian police force officers |
| Applications to obtain criminal record search to apply for a Pardon | Volunteer work (e.g. Boys and Girls Club). Request must be accompanied by written confirmation from a bona fide registered non-profit organization. |
The federal processing fee is in addition to any local service fees required for fingerprinting by a police service and/or an accredited fingerprinting company. The RCMP does not regulate service fees for criminal record and/or vulnerable sector checks performed by police agencies and accredited fingerprinting companies.
