Preparing Criminal Record Checks (B.C. Notarized Documents) for Authentication

These include documents issued by the RCMP or by a police station.

Before the notarized copy can be authenticated, all Criminal Record Checks must:

• First be photocopied
• Then be notarized

Notaries sometimes refer to these as Certified True Copies. Do not include the original when mailing the notarized copy in to be authenticated.

See B.C. Notarized Documents for instructions on how to prepare these documents for authentication.
