Police Record Checks

Welcome to the Halton Regional Police Service's online process for Police Record Checks. 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, fee payment, and the results - are handled electronically.

• This process is NON-REFUNDABLE
• You MUST be a resident of the Region of Halton (including Oakville Burlington, Milton, or the Town of Halton Hills) in order to apply through this system.
• 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.
• This process is intended for persons living and working in Canada. If you are living/working outside Canada, you should obtain a police record check from the RCMP through the submission of fingerprints. Click here for details.
• All communication will be electronic. Ensure you check your junk mail. All results are returned electronically and are available to download for 60 days. The applicant will be notified via email when their record check has been completed and receive instructions on how to securely download it.
• Do not attend any of the HRPS Districts. Police Record Checks are NOT processed at those locations.
• 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 police record check is current enough to be accepted for the position applied for. The Halton 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.
• Wait times vary - we strive to complete all checks within 30 days, there is no guarantee.

There are three levels of police record checks. The type of position you are applying for will determine which type of police record check you will require. In all cases you should consult with the agency, organization or employer that requires you to obtain a police record check to determine which one is needed.
