Police Record Checks
Welcome to the Woodstock Police Service's 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 building. All aspects of the process - including verification of your identification, and fee payment - are all handled electronically. Record checks are also accepted in person during our office hours.
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.
The Woodstock Police Service will return the results of the check to the applicant only. We will not provide the results to a third-party organization or employer under any circumstances.
