A police record check is a tool to help employers or other agencies determine an applicant's suitability for certain types of opportunities. Record checks are just one tool available and can be used in addition to interviews, reference checks and verification of credentials/licences.
Agencies can only request one type of record check from an applicant specific to the opportunity. They are not permitted to ask applicants for any additional police records.
A Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Check is intended for applicants seeking employment or volunteer positions with agencies or companies that require a criminal records check, along with a search of outstanding entries and charges. You can proceed with a Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Check if the agency has determined that a search of pardoned sex offenders is not required. This check is not intended for individuals seeking employment or a volunteer position working with children or vulnerable persons.
All applicants applying for a volunteer position must provide a letter from the agency where they intend to volunteer. The letter must be printed on the agency's letterhead and include the applicant's name and volunteer position, stating the position is a "volunteer non-paid position."

Please note: Based on results of the Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Check, fingerprints may be required to confirm the identity of the applicant and a fingerprint fee will be charged. For applicants who decline fingerprint submissions, the check will indicate that the document is incomplete and no refunds will be issued.

Any applicant may obtain a Criminal Record and Judicial Matters Check as long as the applicant provides two pieces of government-issued identification. The identification must confirm your name, date of birth and address, and one piece of government identification must include a photo.
