Police Records Check

• Apply for a Police Records Check for people working with vulnerable individuals (Level 3).
• Apply online for the fastest service. Even when the application must be finished in-person, having an online application gives priority service.
• Fill in the application, putting "CISV Ottawa" as the “Name of Organization” and checking the "volunteer" box.
• Avoid the $15 fee by providing the CISV Ottawa letter (available from your program coordinator)
• When applying in-person you must show two pieces of identification and go to 2670 Queensview Dr.

Ensure that you receive an official receipt with the date of application as CISV Ottawa requires this if your check is not completed on time.

The Police Records Check is free with the chapter letter. Email your program coordinator to get a copy of the letter. For an express fee of $41, you can get your police check 'while you wait/same day', if you have lived in Ottawa for the past five years. See the Ottawa Police Service's Police Records Checks for more information.

When applying in-person you need two pieces of identification that confirm your name, date of birth, and address. One piece of identification must include a photo. Photocopies are not acceptable. Please note that Ontario Health Cards cannot be accepted for identification purposes.
