Saint Lucia
If you now live in Canada and previously lived, worked, or studied in Saint Lucia,
many immigration, employment, and licensing processes will ask you for a Saint Lucia Police Clearance Certificate (PCC)
in addition to your Canadian one. Getting fingerprinted correctly is usually the first step. This guide walks through how that works
while you’re based in Canada, and how Surrey Fingerprint Company can help with the fingerprinting part.
Visit Surrey Fingerprint Company for professional, correctly-formatted fingerprints for your Saint Lucia police clearance
application. Email info@surreyfingerprint.com
beforehand so we can confirm the exact form and format Royal Saint Lucia Police Force — Criminal Records Office, Police Headquarters currently requires.
Why Would Someone in Canada Need a Saint Lucia PCC?
- Canadian immigration & citizenship (IRCC): if you lived in Saint Lucia for 6 months or more before moving to Canada, IRCC may require a police certificate from Saint Lucia as part of permanent residency, sponsorship, or citizenship applications.
- Immigration to a third country: if you are applying to move from Canada to another country (e.g. Australia, the UK, the US, or elsewhere), that country’s character/background check requirements often ask for a clearance from every country you’ve lived in for an extended period, including Saint Lucia.
- Employment & licensing: some regulated professions and international employers request a background check covering your time in Saint Lucia.
- Legal, banking, or property matters: some processes back in Saint Lucia may themselves ask you to complete identity verification via fingerprints while abroad.
The General Process From Canada
Because you’re applying from outside Saint Lucia, the typical path is: get fingerprinted locally in Canada in the exact
format Royal Saint Lucia Police Force — Criminal Records Office, Police Headquarters accepts, then send that fingerprint record to them along with the rest of your
application package.
Contact Saint Lucia’s issuing authority first
Confirm the current application form, required fingerprint format, fee, and mailing/submission method directly with
Royal Saint Lucia Police Force — Criminal Records Office, Police Headquarters — requirements can change, so always check before your appointment.
Get fingerprinted at Surrey Fingerprint Company
Bring valid photo ID and any required form. The fingerprint format usually requested for a Saint Lucia PCC is:
Ink-and-Roll Fingerprinting (Paper Card). We offer both ink-and-roll and digital fingerprinting on-site.
We complete your card correctly
We take your fingerprints on the correct form, complete any required identity/witness sections, and provide the card or

The Consulate's own guide explicitly names a specific accepted fingerprinting provider for Greater Toronto Area applicants — strong direct evidence that private, non-police RCMP-accredited agencies (such as Surrey Fingerprint Company for BC-based applicants) are an accepted route, not just police stations.

Fees: $20 BBD for the application plus $50 BBD for the report, payable by money/postal order (never Western Union) — add return postage if you want it mailed to Canada.

Why Would Someone in Canada Need a Trinidad and Tobago PCC?
- Canadian immigration & citizenship (IRCC): if you lived in Trinidad and Tobago for 6 months or more before moving to Canada, IRCC may require a police certificate from Trinidad and Tobago as part of permanent residency, sponsorship, or citizenship applications.
- Immigration to a third country: if you are applying to move from Canada to another country (e.g. Australia, the UK, the US, or elsewhere), that country’s character/background check requirements often ask for a clearance from every country you’ve lived in for an extended period, including Trinidad and Tobago.
- Employment & licensing: some regulated professions and international employers request a background check covering your time in Trinidad and Tobago.
- Legal, banking, or property matters: some processes back in Trinidad and Tobago may themselves ask you to complete identity verification via fingerprints while abroad.
The General Process From Canada
Because you’re applying from outside Trinidad and Tobago, the typical path is: get fingerprinted locally in Canada in the exact
format Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) — Criminal Investigations Department and Criminal Records Office accepts, then send that fingerprint record to them along with the rest of your
application package.
Contact Trinidad and Tobago’s issuing authority first
Confirm the current application form, required fingerprint format, fee, and mailing/submission method directly with
Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) — Criminal Investigations Department and Criminal Records Office — requirements can change, so always check before your appointment.

Why Would Someone in Canada Need a Bahrain PCC?
- Canadian immigration & citizenship (IRCC): if you lived in Bahrain for 6 months or more before moving to Canada, IRCC may require a police certificate from Bahrain as part of permanent residency, sponsorship, or citizenship applications.

IMPORTANT CAVEATS: Bahrain does not have its own embassy in Canada — it is covered by the Embassy of Bahrain in Washington, D.C. Also, current applicant reports suggest the process has shifted toward an online system (bahrain.bh) where fingerprint registration may need to happen after the application is filed and may be tied to a Bahraini personal/CPR number, rather than a straightforward "take fingerprints locally and mail them" process. This makes it genuinely uncertain whether a Canadian-taken fingerprint card is accepted for a fresh application — strongly recommend contacting the Bahrain Ministry of Interior or Embassy directly before booking an appointment or promising this service to a client.
