Police Record Checks

Broad Record Checks start January 2nd, 2025

Welcome to the Kawartha Lakes 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, you will receive an email with instructions on how to download your police screening documents.

Please note: THIS IS A NON-REFUNDABLE PROCESS. YOU MUST BE A CURRENT RESIDENT OF THE TOWN OF LINDSAY OR FORMER TOWNSHIP OF OPS (click to view map) IN ORDER TO APPLY THROUGH THIS POLICE SERVICE. IF YOU CONTINUE WITH THIS APPLICATION AND FIND THAT YOU DO NOT RESIDE WITHIN THE TOWN OF LINDSAY OR FORMER TOWNSHIP OF OPS, THE MONIES PAID WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICANT TO ENSURE THEY RESIDE WITHIN THE TOWN OF LINDSAY OR FORMER TOWNSHIP OF OPS.

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 email the Kawartha Lakes Police Service for more information.

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 receive an email with additional instructions.

There are three 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.

For Adoption and Non-Parent Custody, and Record Suspension Local Checks please email the Kawartha Lakes Police Service for more information.

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 Kawartha Lakes 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 Kawartha Lakes Police Service will return the results of the check to the applicant only. We will not mail the results to a third-party organization or employer under any circumstances.
