Instant Record Check helps Canadians complete a criminal record check online instead of lining up at a police station. Our checks are name-based searches of CPIC, the Canadian Police Information Centre, which is the same database a police detachment searches when you apply in person. That is why the results carry the same weight.

How We Write About Criminal Records
Criminal record checks touch employment, volunteering, immigration and travel, so getting the details right matters. Our guides are written and reviewed by the Instant Record Check team and draw on the RCMP, CPIC and the individual police services that process these checks. Our editorial policy sets out who writes our content, what we source it from, and how we handle corrections.
