(Ottawa) – The Ottawa Police Services Board approved a cost-recovery fee structure model for all employment-related Police Records Checks in October.
Effective January 1, 2019, it will cost $90 to obtain a criminal records check, criminal records and judicial matters check, and a vulnerable sector check.
Volunteer checks will remain free.
Non-Residents will continue to pay an additional $42 for their check requests as they do today.
This new fee structure will recover the full cost of the background clearance service and aligns with budget estimates of the Ottawa Police Service for Police Records Checks.
