Criminal Record / Name Check Search

For $35.00 Alberta Fingerprinting Services can now perform a Criminal Record (CPIC) Check to see whether or not you have a criminal record on CPIC.

File Destruction Requests

Normally this service is to destroy a CPIC record and/or Police Records showing a Conditional Discharge, or Stayed, Dismissed or Withdrawn charges. Police File Destruction may also be required before or after being granted a Standard Canadian Pardon, in order to destroy local police records, which could possibly be hacked into by foreign federal government agencies in the future. Note: File Destructions for convictions are usually only granted after 10 years or more have passed without any further charges, investigations or convictions, and if you have multiple convictions or an Indictable conviction the police like to see at least 15 years of crime-free activity. Other reasons to obtain this service is to destroy a CPIC record after the death of a convicted person.
