RCMP Certified Criminal Record Checks for a Kuwait Visa

As a part of your Kuwait Visa application, you will need to submit an RCMP certified criminal record check with fingerprints. Criminal record checks and police clearance letters issued at local police detachments will not be accepted.

What is an RCMP Certified Criminal Record Check?

In addition to the basic criminal record check where only your name and date of birth are searched, for an RCMP Certified Criminal Record Check you will need to include all ten fingerprints.

You may obtain an RCMP Certified Criminal Record Check by personally attending a local police station to have your fingerprints taken, or by using a fingerprinting service in Canada. The police or fingerprinting service will digitize your fingerprints and submit the application to the RCMP for a Certified Criminal Record Check.

What are the steps required for the authentication and legalization of the Certified Criminal Record Check?

Global Affairs Canada in Ottawa will authenticate the RCMP certified criminal record check based on the RCMP Director General’s signature.  Or, if you are in need of a faster service, the RCMP can be notarized by a Notary Public and then it can be authenticated at the provincial level. Once your document has been authenticated, it is then submitted to the Embassy of Kuwait for legalization.
