Self-Declaration

Self-declaration of a criminal record is a process where you may declare your adult criminal record convictions to the police service.

Do NOT declare:
  1. A conviction for which you have received a pardon.
  2. A conviction where you were a “young person”.
  3. Absolute or Conditional Discharges.
  4. Any offences where you were not convicted.
  5. Provincial or municipal offences.
  6. Any charges dealt with outside of Canada.
The Service will confirm if the information matches a criminal record contained within the RCMP National Repository of Criminal Records. If the Service is not satisfied that your declared criminal record information is a match to a Criminal Record held at the repository, fingerprints are required.
