Criminal record check in Regina, from your phone
A job offer, a contract or a new apartment in Regina often comes with one more request: a criminal record check. MyCRC lets you get a name-based criminal record check online. Your name and date of birth are searched against the RCMP national database, you prove who you are with a photo of your ID and a selfie, and you sign your consent online. The finished PDF lands in your account, often the same day, whether you’re in Harbour Landing, Lakeview or Normanview.
Getting a check from the Regina Police Service
The Regina Police Service runs its own screening for people who live in the city, and only for them: you must be a Regina resident to apply through it, and you can’t apply on behalf of someone else. Its basic fee for a standard criminal record check is $45. Applying online adds a $9.95 processing and authentication fee to each check; if you’d rather not pay it, you can book an in-person appointment at police headquarters, 1717 Saskatchewan Drive.
If you live outside Regina, in White City, Pilot Butte or Balgonie for example, the police service or RCMP detachment that covers your community handles your check instead.
Choosing the online route
Booking an appointment means fitting a visit downtown into a working day. MyCRC charges one price, $68.23 tax included, and the report can be ready in as little as 15 minutes, about 4 hours on average. It’s a name-based check of criminal convictions, so first confirm the organization asking accepts that type of check.
Who asks for one in Regina
As the provincial capital, Regina has a large public sector and the companies that work around it, along with insurance and finance offices, construction and trades, retail and hospitality employers, and landlords screening rental applicants. One exception to plan for: workers on Government of Saskatchewan contracts who need access to government buildings must get their check through the province’s chosen vendor, which does not accept checks from online providers. More on that on the Saskatchewan page.
Background check vs criminal record check in Regina
A Regina employer’s “background check” may bundle references, employment history and education with a criminal record check. If they ask you to supply the criminal record part yourself, that’s the part MyCRC provides.
