Identification Canada — Check Police Records (CPIC),
Fingerprinting & Pardons
In brief, you start online to check your police record or request a CPIC police record check; then, we verify your ID; afterward, your documents arrive quickly by email or pickup. Therefore, getting compliant documentation for work, immigration, volunteering, licensing, or travel is simple and fast — and you always start with the correct option based on fingerprint requirements.
RCMP approved platforms · Secure & confidential
Good to know: Most name-based CPIC checks (no fingerprints) used to check police records are completed in 1–2 business days and delivered by email as a secure PDF. Meanwhile, services that require fingerprints are completed in person to meet RCMP and program requirements.
Simple rule: if your request does not require fingerprints, start with the Canada-wide online CPIC option to check police records. If fingerprints are required, start with fingerprinting services in Montreal.
