Kingston's most common mix-up
Police check or federal security screening?
Kingston is home to federal correctional institutions and a military base. Jobs there often involve security screening run by the federal employer, which is a separate process from a police check.
What we do
A police check
- Ordered by you, online
- A name-based criminal record check, searched against the RCMP National Repository
- Asked for by most employers, staffing agencies, landlords and volunteer roles
- Certificate in your inbox, usually in minutes
Separate process
Federal security screening
- Reliability status, secret or top secret
- Started by the hiring department or organisation, not ordered by you
- Its own forms and its own process
- If a federal employer has asked you for this, follow their instructions rather than ordering a police check
Some contractors and suppliers to federal sites ask for a police check as well as, or ahead of, security screening. If yours has asked for a criminal record check, you can order it here.

Criminal record check in Kingston and the communities around it
Your check runs against the national RCMP repository, so where you live does not change the result or the speed. A criminal record check in Kingston, Ontario works the same downtown, in Portsmouth, Cataraqui, Westbrook or Kingston East. So does one in Amherstview, Odessa, Bath, Sydenham, Verona, Gananoque, Napanee or on Wolfe Island.
Inside the city, Kingston Police. Around it, communities are policed by the OPP or their own local service. That only matters for a vulnerable sector check.

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 Kingston, and only police or an accredited agency can issue them.
Vulnerable sector check
Roles and placements working with children, seniors, patients or other vulnerable people need a vulnerable sector check. Only the police service that polices where you live can issue one. In Kingston, that is Kingston Police. 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
Kingston police checks, answered
Can I get a criminal record check in Kingston online?
Yes. MyCheck is a Kingston police check you complete 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 Kingston Police.
I am waiting on a Kingston Police check. Can I see its status here?
No. MyCheck is a private Canadian provider, so only Kingston Police can tell you where your application stands. If you need a standard criminal record check sooner and the organisation accepts a name-based check, you can order one here. Most complete in minutes.
Is a police check the same as security screening for a federal prison or the military base?
No. Federal employers run their own security screening, such as reliability status, with their own forms and process, and you do not order it yourself. If a contractor or agency asked for a criminal record check, you can order it here.
My placement is in a hospital, school or childcare centre. Is this the right check?
Probably not. Those placements usually need a vulnerable sector check, which only police can issue. Ask your placement office before you order anything. Read our guide to vulnerable sector checks.
How much does a criminal record check cost in Kingston?
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 Kingston, contact Kingston Police. 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.
