Options for Obtaining a Criminal Record Check

Halifax Regional Police is pleased to once again partner with myBackCheck to provide an online method for residents to obtain record checks. While a record check can still be obtained by visiting one of the locations listed below, we believe you will find the online service faster and more convenient. The online check is performed by Halifax Regional Police staff, but rather than wait 10 days for a paper response, myBackCheck sends the results to you electronically, normally within three business days.

Online

myBackCheck service is secure, safe, fast and easy. Please email _____________________ if you would like to receive the invitation to complete the form online.  This will allow you to pay the reduced fee associated with the Criminal Records Check.
Please make sure that the organization requesting the record check will accept an electronic copy of the check before requesting a check online.

    Step 1 - set up an account.
    Step 2 - order a criminal record check.
    Step 3 - results are provided to your account
    Step 4 - you can then electronically share the criminal record check with the organization requesting the check by selecting their name from a drop-down list (much like adding a bill to pay through your online bank account).
