Submit a criminal record check

You can apply for a criminal record check online using a secure link and access code provided to you by MCFD.

The online criminal record check form uses the BC Services Card Login to verify an applicant’s identity. The BC Services Card Login is a secure and easy way to prove who you are when accessing government services online.

Learn how to set up the BC Services Card Login.

If you live in another Canadian province or territory and do not have a physical BC Services Card, you can still set up the BC Services Card Login and submit an online criminal record check. You will need two pieces of government-issued ID to verify your identity.

If you live outside of Canada, or choose not to use the BC Services Card Login, you can still submit a criminal record check online:

• The organization will be notified to verify your ID.
• An authorized person will confirm your ID and the criminal record check will be automatically submitted for processing.
