Services Police Record Checks
Background checks for volunteers, students, employment purposes, and taxi applications.
Sarnia Police Service (SPS) now offers a convenient online system for individuals requiring a police record check for volunteer work, educational purposes, or employment. This user-friendly platform is accessible 24/7, eliminating the need to visit our facilities.
The entire process, from identity verification to fee payment, is conducted online. Provided there are no issues requiring further investigation, your record check documents will be delivered directly to you.
Who can apply?
To use this service, you must currently reside in the City of Sarnia.
It’s important to note that individuals under the age of 18 are ineligible for a Vulnerable Sector Check. However, minors seeking employment with municipal, provincial, or federal government sectors can apply for a Criminal Record Check (CRC). For more information or assistance, please contact us at (519) 344-8861 ext. 5265.
Application process
Applying for someone else is strictly prohibited. The security questions for verifying your identity are generated based on your credit file information. These questions are timed to ensure quick and secure responses, safeguarding your privacy. Be aware that applying for a record check on behalf of someone else constitutes a criminal offence.
International applicants
This service is designed for individuals residing and working within Canada. If you are outside Canada and require a police check, you must contact the RCMP to obtain one through fingerprint submission. This ensures that you receive the appropriate documentation for your needs, regardless of your location.
