Finger Print Services
 
Can anyone help please?
I need to get some RCMP police Checks but I live in Australia.
I believe the processing time is a ridiculous 6 months for paper submitted prints.
I also believe you can send to a approved company and they will digitize and submit. Apparently it only take 3 days for digital prints.
Has anyone used one of these companies. If so how long did it take and what was the cost
Many Thanks in advance

http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cr-cj/fing-empr2-eng.htm , have you contacted any of those companies linked in the 'Reside outside of Canada' option? It looks like you'll still have to get paper versions taken and sent to one of them.

The AFP will take fingerprints for immigration purposes, you have to phone and book an appointment, the AFP in Perth opens up their time slots weekly for the next week, not sure about other cities.

We had ours done at the AFP offices in Perth. I am assuming it's the same in other cities. The RCMP have always been ridiculously slow in processing these checks. Good luck.
