Question 1

Do municipalities accept online criminal record checks?

Accepted Answer

LawCheck provides official CPIC criminal record check reports used to satisfy municipal licensing requirements such as vehicle-for-hire (taxi/ride-share), tow truck, and business licences. Confirm the level of check required with your municipal licensing office — most require the enhanced CPIC Level II / CRJMC.

Question 2

Is this an alternative to going to my local police service?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Instead of booking an appointment and waiting at a police station, applicants complete a secure online application and receive an official PDF report by email — typically within 30 minutes to 72 hours.

Question 3

Can a municipality set up bulk screening for applicants or staff?

Accepted Answer

Yes. LawCheck's B2B portal lets municipalities and licensing departments run bulk CPIC Level I and Level II checks with centralized administration. Call 1-833-243-3336 to set up an account.
