How long does it take to receive my results?
Typically 2–3 business days. Processing times may vary depending on application volume or if additional verification (such as fingerprinting) is required.
Why is this service offered through the Brandon Police Service and not the Springfield Police Service or RCMP?
Brandon Police Service offers the most cost and time effective online criminal record checks in the surrounding area. Springfield Police Service is not equipped with performing criminal background checks at this time.
What documents or identification do I need?
Online identity verification is done through a secure system using the applicant's personal credit file, and the questions are timed to ensure a prompt response and to further enhance security and privacy. If you fail to authenticate your identity, you will be required to upload a photo of your Government issued ID, along with a photo of yourself holding your identification to verify.
