Self-Declaration

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

A self-declaration must be filled out if you have an adult criminal record, in order for the Police Service to complete and release the record check.

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.


Fingerprinting will be required to confirm any convictions that are not held by the Peterborough Police Service.
