rcmp check questions

[burnsis 0]

I have one dated Feb 08, it has the fingerprints and is an official one from the RCMP. I had to order this one b/c at the time I was living in Korea. It took nearly 8 months to have it done...as they lost my file, and then in the meantime I moved.

So they sent it to me, and then in transferring my IV case from Korea to Canada, things got messed up with immigration, and file numbers and addresses were confused....so they are just now finally requesting all of my documents again.

It says that an RCMP check older than 6 mths won't be accepted. And by the time I mail it in, it will be over 6 months old.

I have been visiting my husband in the US for quite sometime now, and have not lived in Canada for a few years now. I am going home next month, and I can apply for a new police check much quicker than if I apply with fingerprints again to Ottawa. But, I don't have any ID with a current address on it, other than a passport. My health card and driver's licenses are expired. Can I show them a birth certificate and passport?

Anyone know?

I believe (at least 1 time they were) good for one year. I had an email back in 2004 from montreal stating they were good for 1 year. One would think your cdn passport and birth cert would suffice if you were to get an updated check
