Police Clearance Certificate Canada
Online CPIC (No Fingerprints Required)

I understand and agree that:

• This application is for a name-based CPIC police clearance certificate only (no fingerprints) unless fingerprinting is specifically requested through a separate fingerprinting service.
• Identification Canada provides access to Canada-wide name-based CPIC police clearance certificate processing through authorized CPIC channels using national databases maintained by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
• Name-based CPIC police clearance certificates processed through this service are issued by the Charlottetown Police Department in Prince Edward Island using RCMP-maintained databases and authorized CPIC systems.
• The listed city on this website (Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Vancouver, or other service-area pages) is for local guidance and service-area information only and is not the issuing authority.
• Because the search is completed through Canada-wide RCMP-maintained systems, the processing location does not change the database searched or the result returned for a name-based CPIC police clearance certificate.
• Name-based CPIC police clearance certificates may commonly be used for employment, volunteering, education, licensing, personal record checks, and general background check purposes when fingerprints are not specifically required.
• If my request requires fingerprints, RCMP-certified processing, immigration or citizenship processing, biometrics, adoption processing, local police service screening, or Vulnerable Sector screening, I understand that this online name-based CPIC application may not be accepted for my purpose.
• Vulnerable Sector checks are completed only through my local police service and are not offered through this application.
• If fingerprints are required, fingerprinting must be completed in person through an RCMP-accredited fingerprinting provider or at the Identification Canada Montreal fingerprinting office where applicable.
• It is my responsibility to confirm the exact requirements with the requesting organization, employer, school, licensing body, government authority, embassy, immigration department, or agency before submitting my application.
• Identification Canada does not determine whether a name-based CPIC police clearance certificate is acceptable for my specific purpose and cannot guarantee acceptance by third parties.
• Processing times are estimates only and may vary depending on identity verification, application accuracy, requesting authority requirements, technical issues, RCMP systems, or other processing factors outside our control.
• Certificates are delivered securely by email through protected download access and it is my responsibility to monitor my inbox and junk/spam folders.
• Incorrect applications, inaccurate information, or selecting the wrong service type may result in delays, resubmissions, additional processing requirements, or non-refundable fees.
• I confirm that all information and identification submitted is accurate, complete, and belongs to me.

By continuing with this application, I confirm that I understand the service limitations and agree to proceed with the correct application type based on my requirements.
