Important Notice re/ Local Police Records:

Due to recent changes by CPIC Administration in Ottawa, all persons who are not applying for a Canada Pardon, U.S. Entry Waiver or Pardoned Record Search must now visit their local police service in person to obtain a copy of their local police criminal record. For more information, contact your local police department.

Thank you.

The following criminal record search services are available:

Pardoned Record Search

This service is for persons who have received a pardon but who now need a copy of their Sealed Criminal Record from Ottawa. The most common reason to obtain a Pardoned Record Search is to show U.S. Customs officials that you were simply pardoned for a DUI charge(s) or one minor (summary) offense that was committed over 20-years ago.

Court Record Search

This service is for persons who need a copy of their court records. Court records show if the charge(s) was/were dismissed, if the offense was Summary or Indictable, who the victim was, and all disposition information.

The most common reason to obtain a Court Record Search is to show U.S. Customs officials (upon request) that the charge(s) originally put on your criminal record was/were dismissed, or that the pardoned record was for a DUI charge(s), or one minor (summary) offense that was committed over 20-years ago.

The fee for a Pardoned Record Search and/or Court Record Search is $120.00 plus GST.
