Official New Zealand
Fingerprint Documents
Personal Information
In New Zealand, forms for fingerprints must have the details regarding your identification – otherwise it’s not a valid document.
Fingerprinting
You may find that some police services run fingerprinting differently. The important thing is that the prints are inked and stamped or signed.
Police Documentation
For fingerprinting in NZ, you’ll
need to visit a police station; an
officer will take your fingerprints,
stamp and sign the card to make
it official.

A CPIC Record Check, also known as a Name-Based Criminal Record Check, is a background check which does not use fingerprints as a search mechanism. CPIC checks use your name and date of birth to find information about convictions. CPIC Checks are not as strong as fingerprint-based criminal record checks and cannot be used for a wide variety of official processes such as immigration or travel visas. CPIC Checks are sometimes required for applying to new jobs or positions within private organizations among other reasons. If you are unsure which criminal record check you need, contact us today. We’d be happy to help.
Reliability Screening is proud to be accredited by the RCMP to submit electronic fingerprints to CCRTIS in support of criminal record checks. Reliability Screening is one of the first agencies in Canada to successfully complete this accreditation process, and is your best choice for getting a Certified Criminal Record Check while living in New Zealand.

Fast & Hassle Free
Having had my fingerprints taken before for previous Visa application with other companies, I can honestly say this was the fastest and most hassle free process I have ever had. The staff are very professional and knowledgeable about all aspects of the business. I would not just recommend Reliability screening I can whole heartedly say from experience you would be silly to trust anyone else with such an important and sensitive application.
