Police Information Checks
Welcome to the Medicine Hat Police Service's online application system for police information checks. This system allows you to apply 24 hours a day without having to attend our facility. All aspects of the process - including verification of your identification, and fee payment - are handled electronically. If there are no concerns or follow-up required, you will receive an email with instructions on how to download your police information check certificate.
The estimated turnaround time for online applications is 7-10 business days. Times are based on intake volume and are subject to change without notice. We will not provide status updates on applications submitted within this period.
PLEASE NOTE: This process is intended for persons living within Medicine Hat city limits ONLY.
You cannot apply on behalf of another person. Authentication questions will be based on the applicant's personal credit file, and the questions are timed to ensure a prompt response and to further enhance security and privacy. If you fail to authenticate your identification, you will be required to upload photos of your two pieces of valid Government issued identification, one ID with a photo, and take a selfie holding the same two ID provided.
If you are living/working outside Canada, click here for details.
The Medicine Hat Police Service will return the results of the check to the applicant only. We will not provide the results to a third-party organization or employer under any circumstances.
- Be prepared to provide photos of 2 pieces of government issued ID as well as a photo of you holding your photo ID beside your face (like a “selfie”). We recommend saving this to your computer before you begin.
- Ensure you have at least 30 minutes to complete the application without interruptions. Some portions of the application are timed and leaving the page may cause errors.
