Police Record Checks
Welcome to the Aylmer Police Service's new online process for persons needing a police record check for volunteer, student or employment purposes. This system allows you to apply for a police record check 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, your record check documents will be mailed to you in a confidential envelope.
Please note:Applicants under the age of 18 are not able to use the online process. Applicants under the age of 18 applying for any municipal, provincial or federal government jobs must attend in person at Police Headquarters, 20 Beech Street East, Aylmer.
You cannot apply on behalf of another person. The questions used to verify who you are will be created from the information in your credit file. Questions are timed to ensure a prompt response and to enhance security and privacy. It is a criminal offence to apply for a record check on behalf of another person.
This process is intended for persons living and working in Canada. If you are living/working outside Canada, you should obtain a police check from the RCMP through the submission of fingerprints. Click here for details.
NOTE: We
do not recommend that you attempt to use this system if you:
- Have lived in Canada for less than one (1) year, and/or;
- Have no established personal credit history - i.e. no credit cards, bank loans, mortgage, etc. - that is required in order to authenticate your ID using EIV
Please be aware of these requirements before creating an account. If you fail to authenticate your ID, you will be required to attend our office
in person with two pieces of ID. Please note that we accept Visa and cash only.
There are two levels of record checks available. The type of position you are applying for will determine which type of check you will require. In all cases you should consult with the agency, organization or employer that requires you to obtain a record check to determine which one is needed.
Persons requiring records checks for the purposes of Adoption (through court order) cannot use this online screening process. You must attend the Aylmer Police Service Headquarters in person to make application.
The Aylmer Police Service Headquarters is located at 20 Beech Street East, Aylmer. If the above is the reason for your police check, you must attend our office between 8:00am and 4:00pm Monday thru Friday. The Records Management Section of the Aylmer Police Service is closed on civic and statutory holidays.
A police record check is current as of the date it is completed. It is your employer/prospective employer or organization's function to determine if the record check is current enough to be accepted for the position applied for. The Alymer Police Services Board, its officers, agents and employees, shall have no responsibility or obligation to make such a determination.
Incomplete applications (i.e. no identification provided, authentication aborted / failed / not completed or further information requested) and applications requiring in-person attendance will remain in the processing queue for no more than ninety (90) days from the time of initial application. Fees are non-refundable and incomplete applications will be considered 'abandoned', and removed from the processing queue after ninety (90) days.
The Aylmer Police Service will return the results of the check to the applicant only.
