Why MyCheck
Why people choose an online criminal record check in Winnipeg
A new job, a staffing agency, a practicum or a lease. People often search for a criminal record check location in Winnipeg because they assume a visit is required. For a MyCheck criminal record check, it is not.
No location to visit
No appointment at Smith Street and no parking downtown. Start on your phone and finish there, from anywhere in Manitoba.
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

Two ways to get it
Winnipeg Police record check or MyCheck: what is the difference?
If you live in Winnipeg, you can apply to the Winnipeg Police Service for a police record check or order a criminal record check from MyCheck. Here is how the two compare.
| Compared | Winnipeg Police Service | MyCheck |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | A police record check: convictions, pending charges, outstanding judicial orders, absolute discharges for one year and conditional discharges for three years | Level 1: criminal convictions. Level 2 adds outstanding charges and warrants, discharges, Youth Criminal Justice Act findings and court orders |
| Price | $65, taxes included, whatever the purpose. Fingerprints, if needed, $81.90 | $39 for Level 1, $49 for Level 2. ID verification included |
| Turnaround | Processed in the order received, with no published timeframe. On 14 October 2026, WPS was processing checks submitted on 5 October | Most checks in minutes. The rest usually within 4 hours |
| How you apply | Online. In person, a fingerprint-based check by appointment at 245 Smith Street, which does not include a vulnerable sector check | Online, from your phone |
| ID | Two current IDs, one government-issued with a photo | One government ID, matched to a live capture |
| Vulnerable sector check | Winnipeg residents only | No |
If the organisation asking has named the Winnipeg Police Service, or needs a vulnerable sector check, apply to WPS. If you need a criminal record check for a job, an agency or a lease and want it today, MyCheck is built for that, and both MyCheck levels cost less than the WPS fee.
WPS fees, process and disclosure from the WPS online record checks page and fee schedule, and the processing date from the WPS online application, checked 14 October 2026. The RCMP charges an extra $25 when fingerprints are sent for processing.
Which police service is yours?
Winnipeg Police or RCMP: who polices where you live?
The Winnipeg Police Service polices the City of Winnipeg. The communities around it are policed by RCMP detachments.
| If you live in | Your police service |
|---|---|
| The City of Winnipeg | Winnipeg Police Service |
| East St. Paul and West St. Paul | Red River North RCMP |
| Headingley | Headingley RCMP |
| Springfield and Oakbank | Oakbank RCMP |
| Stonewall | Stonewall RCMP |
| Selkirk | Selkirk RCMP |
| Niverville | Niverville RCMP |
For a MyCheck criminal record check, none of this changes anything. The search is national, so you order the same way anywhere around Winnipeg. It matters for a vulnerable sector check: WPS only does those for Winnipeg residents, so everyone else applies to their RCMP detachment. Some detachments charge as little as $10 for a criminal record check, Headingley and Niverville among them, if you can get there during office hours.

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.

|---|---|---|
| Criminal convictions where no record suspension has been granted | Included | Included |
| Outstanding charges and warrants to arrest | Not included | Included |

Neither level is a vulnerable sector check or a child abuse registry check, and neither can stand in for one. Compare the levels in full
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 Winnipeg, and only police or an accredited agency can issue them.
Vulnerable sector check
Roles working with children, seniors or other vulnerable people need a vulnerable sector check. Only police can issue one, and WPS only does them for Winnipeg residents. Outside the city, apply to your RCMP detachment. It may involve fingerprints.
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
Winnipeg criminal record check questions, answered
Can I do a criminal record check in Winnipeg online?
Yes, two ways. The Winnipeg Police Service takes record check applications online and processes them in the order received. MyCheck is a separate option: a criminal record check you complete entirely online, issued by an accredited police service after a search of the RCMP National Repository of Criminal Records. Most MyCheck checks complete in minutes.
Where do I go for a criminal record check in Winnipeg?
For a MyCheck criminal record check, nowhere. You complete it on your phone. WPS takes most applications online. In person, it offers a fingerprint-based check by appointment at police headquarters, 245 Smith Street, which does not include a vulnerable sector check.
Is MyCheck part of the Winnipeg Police Service?
No. MyCheck is a private Canadian provider and is not affiliated with the Winnipeg Police Service. If you already applied to WPS, wait for that result. If you have not started yet and need a criminal record check, you can order here.
How much does a criminal record check cost in Winnipeg?
WPS charges $65, taxes included, whatever the purpose, and $81.90 for fingerprints if they are needed. MyCheck is $39 for Level 1 and $49 for Level 2, with identity verification included in both and no access fee.
How long does a criminal record check take in Winnipeg?
WPS processes checks in the order received and does not publish a timeframe. On 14 October 2026 its online application showed it was working on checks submitted on 5 October. With MyCheck, most checks complete in minutes and the rest are usually back within 4 hours. A small number need fingerprint confirmation, which is done in person and takes longer.
I live in East St. Paul, Headingley or Oakbank. Can I still order?
Yes. The search is national, so a MyCheck criminal record check works the same anywhere around Winnipeg. Where you live only matters for a vulnerable sector check. WPS only does those for Winnipeg residents, so you apply to the RCMP detachment that covers your community.
Do I need a Manitoba Child Abuse Registry check?
Only if the role involves caring for children or unsupervised access to them, and the organisation asks for one. It is a separate check run by the Province of Manitoba, not by police. It costs $20 for your first application, there is no fee when it is for a volunteer, student or work placement role with children, and you can apply online. MyCheck does not include it.
I want to coach or volunteer with kids. Which check do I need?
Usually a vulnerable sector check, and often a Manitoba Child Abuse Registry check too. The organisation decides, so ask them first. WPS charges $65 for a vulnerable sector check, and the RCMP waives its $25 fingerprint fee for volunteers. MyCheck cannot issue a vulnerable sector check. Read our guide to vulnerable sector checks.
I need a vulnerable sector check. Can you do it?
No. Only police can issue a vulnerable sector check, and no private provider can. In Winnipeg, that is the Winnipeg Police Service. Outside the city, it is your RCMP detachment. Read our guide to vulnerable sector checks.
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
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.
