Fingerprint and Photograph Destruction Form

In order to apply for fingerprint and photo destruction, please ensure you meet all the following criteria:

• You have no criminal convictions with any police service
• You have no outstanding charges before the courts
• You must not be the subject of any Peace Bond
• This application cannot be made within one year of an Absolute Discharge
• This application cannot be made within three years of a Conditional Discharge
• This application cannot be made within one year of a stay of proceedings (other than a judicial stay)

It is our procedure to deny fingerprint destruction if there are any mitigating circumstances, such as a risk to public safety, if the charges are of a serious nature or if the applicant is part of an ongoing investigation.

Partial destruction is not considered.
