• No Match Found: If you have no criminal record, the RCMP usually processes the request within 3 to 10 business days once they receive the digital file.

  • Match Found/Manual Review: If there is a potential match or a criminal record, processing can take 120 days or more.

    Note: These times do not include the courier time it takes for your ink prints to reach the Canadian agency or for the final certificate to be mailed back to you.
