I also need to get the police certificate from the US. Currently I am outside of the US. Once I get the fingerprints from the country where I am currently living, Do I need to get the fingerprints authorised and attested before mailing it to FBI?

Hi I am wondering, have you got your permanent card? Does CIC accept state and local police clearance instead of the FBI report to process the application? I am having a same situation as you. I have tried three times to get the FBI report but all my finger prints card was rejected due to low quality.
I already got CoPR. Well, I finally got PCC from FBI and sent it to CIC, so to be honest, I don't know whether CIC accepts state police certificates or not. I submitted state and local police certificates when my second due date for PCC was approaching and I had to submit something. Except local and state PCC, I also showed that I continued to order PCC from FBI. I just wanted to let CIC know that I have done whatever I could do at that point of time and hoped they would not reject my application because of missing FBI PCC.
Do you know that you can send several sets of fingerprints to FBI at one time? One agent from FBI call center advised me to include 5 sets. Also, the police headquarter in my city issued me a letter to FBI stating that those were best quality of fingerprints they could obtain because of my skin texture. But local police stations in my city do not offer this kind of letters. So maybe you could try large headquarter?
Hope you could get this sorted out soon! GOOD LUCK!
Hi guys,
Is it allowed to take my fingerprints myself? I have already made several copies but I don't know if leaving the area where the official who took the fingerprints blank would cause a rejection of the cards even if the fingerprints are legible. I'm in a city where I can't find and well trained fingerprint experts even at the local police station and also no device to verify if the prints have been taken correctly.
I will provide local police report and state police report(if I can get it, which also needs fingerprints) to CIC and ask them to give me another alternative. Clearly, FBI PCC system is not working for me.
I got the first card rejected due to poor fingerprinting quality (I took the fingerprints at a UPS). The second time, when I took the fingerprints at a police station, they were immediately accepted.
For other people coming here, if you are in the Seattle area (USA) checkout the fingerprinting services in Bellevue, they claim to do the process in 1 day. I found out about the service too late so I didn't use it.
