The Police Information Check Section recognizes the importance of receiving a Police Information Check in a timely and convenient manner and recommends that applicants apply online as it the fastest and most convenient method.

Application can be made from the comfort of your home and results will be returned electronically by next business day for those that are ‘clear’, i.e., that have no information to disclose. Please note that ‘On the Spot’ processing service is not offered at this time due to limitations on numbers inside the Police Information Check office and wait times.
