Criminal Record Checks

Same-day name-based checks for employers, and RCMP-certified fingerprint-based checks for immigration, licensing and the courts.

The Right Check for the Right Purpose

"Criminal record check" covers several different products, and requesting the wrong one wastes weeks. We offer both major types and will confirm what your agency actually requires before any payment.

Person reviewing and signing official application documents at a desk

Name-Based Check (Same Day)

A search of the RCMP National Repository based on your name and date of birth. Ideal for employment, volunteering and tenancy screening when certified fingerprints are not demanded. Results are usually ready the same day, printed on official letterhead for your employer.

Fingerprint-Based Certified Check

The gold standard. Your fingerprints are captured digitally and verified directly against the National Repository of Criminal Records, producing an RCMP-certified result. Required for immigration, citizenship, adoptions, record suspensions, name changes, vulnerable sector confirmation and many licences.

  • Certified by the RCMP - accepted by IRCC, courts and licensing bodies
  • The only check that conclusively confirms identity
  • Same-day electronic submission from our office
  • Typical clear results in about 3 business days

Vulnerable Sector Note

Vulnerable sector (VS) checks are run by your local police service based on where you live, and some require fingerprints to resolve a possible match. If you have been asked for fingerprints as part of a VS check, bring the police letter - it contains the file number we need to complete the submission correctly.

Not sure which check you need? Email a photo of the request letter to info@myfingerprinttoronto.com and we will tell you - no charge.
