Frequently Asked Questions
A Mexico Police Clearance Certificate (also called Constancia de Datos Registrales) is an official document issued by Mexican authorities that confirms whether you have a criminal record in Mexico based on your fingerprints.
You may need one if you:
Lived, worked, or studied in Mexico
Are applying for Canadian immigration or PR
Are applying for a work permit or visa
Need it for a government or security-related job
Are requested to provide it by IRCC or another authority
No. Your fingerprints can be taken in Canada by an authorized agency.
At CSH Fingerprinting, we provide RCMP-approved ink & roll fingerprints that meet Mexican requirements.
Two sets are required by the government to:
Prevent delays or rejections due to quality issues
Provide a backup in case one set is unreadable
This helps avoid repeating the process and losing time.
Mexico requires ink & roll fingerprints, not digital submissions.
All 10 individual rolled prints plus 10 flat impressions must be taken clearly and professionally.
You must provide:
3 colour photographs
White background
Size: 3.5 cm x 4.5 cm
3 of your front and 3 of your right face
No glasses, makeup, earrings, beard, or head coverings (unless religious)
Photos must be taken within 30 days
Yes. We provide passport-compliant photos on-site, so you don’t need to visit another location.
Yes. Common reasons include:
Smudged or unclear prints
Incorrect fingerprint method
Poor preparation (dry or damaged skin)
This is why professional fingerprinting is essential.
We:

Take two complete fingerprint sets
Verify clarity before release
Follow RCMP-approved procedures
Ensure prints meet Mexican authority standards
