Who Processes Your Check

We partner with police services across the country, who process checks on our behalf. The criminal record data is CPIC-sourced. We belong to the Professional Background Screening Association and we are a BBB Accredited Business. If the organization asking for it accepts a name-based check but needs a physical document, we can mail an official police-stamped hard copy, embossed and sealed.

You must be 18 or older with at least one year of Canadian residency. A request that names your local police service specifically should go to that service directly. A Vulnerable Sector Check has to be done by police, so we cannot issue one and we do not take fingerprints.
