Why MyCheck

Why New Brunswickers order their criminal record check online

A new job, a staffing agency, a placement or a lease. Wherever you live in the province, the nearest station should not decide how fast you get your check.

  • No appointment, nowhere to go

    No booking, no station, no drive into town. Start on your phone and finish there.

  • Most checks complete in minutes

    The rest are usually back within 4 hours. A small number need fingerprint confirmation, and we tell you straight away if yours does.

  • A police-issued certificate

    An accredited police service runs the search and issues the result. It names the issuing service, the date, a serial number and the officer's ID.

  • ID verification included

    Your government ID is matched to a live capture as part of the check. It is in the price, not billed on top. No access fee either.

  • Canadian, start to finish

    Credibled is Canadian owned and operated, and our servers are in Canada. PIPEDA compliant.

Who polices your community?

RCMP or municipal police in New Brunswick: why it rarely matters

The RCMP is New Brunswick's provincial police. It covers 98% of the province's land and 70% of its population, and 9 municipal and regional forces cover the rest (Government of New Brunswick).

For a MyCheck criminal record check, none of this changes anything. The search runs against the national RCMP repository, so the result is the same wherever you live. It only matters for a vulnerable sector check, which must come from the police service that polices where you live.

Moncton, Fredericton, Saint John and beyond

Criminal record check in Fredericton, Saint John and across New Brunswick

Your check runs against the national RCMP repository, so the city you live in does not change the result or the speed. A criminal record check in Fredericton works exactly like one in Saint John, NB, or in Moncton. The same goes for Dieppe, Riverview, Oromocto, Rothesay, Quispamsis, Sussex, Sackville, Shediac, Miramichi, Bathurst, Campbellton, Edmundston, Grand Falls, Woodstock, Caraquet and Tracadie.

On a rural route, in a fishing community or hours from the nearest detachment? That is where ordering online saves the most. There is nothing to drive to.

What you get

A police-issued certificate, in your inbox

Your result is a dated certificate in 3 parts, issued by an accredited police service. It goes to you, not to an employer, and you decide who sees it.

  1. 1
    Applicant informationThe legal name, date of birth and address the search was run against, and the type of ID used to verify you.
  2. 2
    Criminal record checklistThe result, stated against the RCMP National Repository of Criminal Records. Nothing found reads Negative here, and Cleared as the overall result.
  3. 3
    Issuing agency informationThe police service that issued it, the date issued, the serial number and the issuing officer's ID. This is what makes it stand up when someone asks where it came from.

A criminal record check is a point-in-time search. It reflects the record on the day it was run.

Understand your resultWhat Negative, Cleared and Review mean on your certificate.
Two levels

Level 1 or Level 2?

If the organisation asking has named a level, order that one. If not, Level 1 is what most job applications ask for. Level 1 answers whether you have a conviction. Level 2 also answers whether anything is currently outstanding.

A quick check before you order

Which check do you need?

Most jobs, agencies, landlords and general volunteer roles accept a criminal record check, which is what we do. Two other checks get asked for in New Brunswick, and only police or an accredited agency can issue them.

What we do

Criminal record check

Your name and date of birth searched against the RCMP National Repository by an accredited police service. Accepted by most employers, staffing agencies, landlords and general volunteer roles.

Police only

Vulnerable sector check

Roles working with children, seniors or other vulnerable people need a vulnerable sector check. Only the police service that polices where you live can issue one: your RCMP detachment, or your municipal or regional force in Fredericton, Saint John, the Kennebecasis Valley, Miramichi, Bathurst, Edmundston, Woodstock, Grand Falls or the BNPP area. It may involve fingerprints.

Accredited agency

Fingerprint-certified check

Immigration, visa and citizenship applications, record suspensions and most uses outside Canada need fingerprint-certified results. Our check also does not include convictions recorded by the Canada Border Services Agency or US Customs.

Not sure which you were asked for? Ask the person requesting it whether a name-based criminal record check is acceptable before you order.

FAQ

Criminal record checks in New Brunswick, answered

Can I get a criminal record check in New Brunswick online?

Yes. MyCheck runs your criminal record check in New Brunswick entirely online. An accredited police service searches the RCMP National Repository of Criminal Records and emails you a police-issued certificate. Most checks complete in minutes. A vulnerable sector check is the exception and has to go through your local police service.

Is this an RCMP criminal record check?

It is a name-based search of the RCMP National Repository of Criminal Records, run by an accredited police service, which issues your certificate. It is not issued by your local RCMP detachment, and it is not the fingerprint-based certified check the RCMP issues for immigration. See the 2 kinds of RCMP check.

Does it work in Moncton, Fredericton and Saint John?

Yes, and everywhere else in the province. The search is national, so a criminal record check in Fredericton is the same as one in Moncton, Saint John or Miramichi, and anywhere else in Canada.

I live in Moncton. Who does my vulnerable sector check?

Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview are policed by the Codiac Regional RCMP, so that is where a vulnerable sector check comes from. For a standard criminal record check, you can order online here.

Does it matter whether the RCMP or a municipal force polices my community?

Not for a MyCheck criminal record check. The search is national, so the result is the same wherever you live. It only matters for a vulnerable sector check, which must come from the police service that polices where you live.

How much does a criminal record check cost in New Brunswick?

Level 1 is $39 CAD and Level 2 is $49 CAD. Identity verification is included in both, and there is no access fee. Police service fees are set by each service.

How long does it take?

Most checks complete in minutes. The rest are usually back within 4 hours. Timing depends on how accurately you enter your details. A small number of cases need fingerprint confirmation, which is done in person and takes longer.

What will my result show?

Level 1 shows criminal convictions where no record suspension has been granted. Level 2 adds outstanding charges and warrants, discharges within their disclosure windows, Youth Criminal Justice Act findings and court orders. You declare your own convictions during the process so they can be confirmed against the search.
Understand your result

I need a vulnerable sector check. Can you do it?

No. Only the police service that polices where you live can issue a vulnerable sector check, and no private provider can. In New Brunswick, that is your RCMP detachment or your municipal or regional police force. Read our guide to vulnerable sector checks.

Who sees my result?

You do. The certificate is delivered to you and nobody else. It is not sent to an employer unless you send it.

Can I get a refund?

No. Checks are non-refundable once submitted, which is why this page explains which check you need before you order. If you are unsure between Level 1 and Level 2, ask whoever requested it first.
