How Online Criminal Record Checks Work
Online criminal record checks use the same RCMP Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) database as in-person checks at police stations. The difference is in how you submit your information and receive results.
Complete the Online Form
Click "Start Your Check Now" and fill out your personal information. Takes about 3 minutes. You'll need a valid government-issued ID.
Automated Verification
Your information is verified using advanced identity verification technology. This ensures the check is being conducted for the correct person and meets RCMP security standards.
We Process Your Check
Bridgewater Police Service searches the CPIC database on your behalf. Our system works 24/7 to deliver fast results.
Receive Your Results
Your criminal record check results are compiled and delivered to your email as a secure PDF document. Most checks are completed within 15 minutes during business hours.
Are Online Criminal Record Checks Legitimate?
Yes. Online criminal record checks are completely legitimate and search the same official RCMP database as in-person checks at police stations.
Authorized online providers have secure access to the RCMP Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) database. The results you receive online are identical to what you would receive from a police station, and they're equally accepted by employers, landlords, and organizations across Canada.
What Makes Them Trustworthy
Same Database Access
Online providers search the identical RCMP CPIC database used by all police services in Canada. There is no separate or different database for online checks.
Security Standards
Online checks use bank-level encryption and secure identity verification to protect your personal information throughout the process.
Widely Accepted
Employers, landlords, volunteer organizations, and licensing bodies across Canada accept online criminal record checks.
Authorized Providers
Legitimate online providers are authorized to access RCMP databases and follow strict privacy and security protocols.
Who Can Use Online Criminal Record Checks?
Online criminal record checks are available to all Canadians and can be used for most purposes that accept standard criminal record checks:
Employment
Background checks for job applications in healthcare, education, finance, security, and other sectors
Volunteering
Required by many organizations for volunteers working with children, youth, or vulnerable populations
Professional Licensing
Professional licensing for real estate, insurance, securities, and other regulated professions
Immigration
Required for many immigration applications, visa renewals, and permanent residency applications
Rental Applications
Landlords may request criminal record checks as part of rental applications
Personal Records
Many people order checks for their own records or peace of mind
Important: Online criminal record checks cannot be used for vulnerable sector screening. Vulnerable sector checks require fingerprinting and must be done in person at a police station or RCMP detachment.
