Additional Information About Criminal Record Checks in NL (Newfoundland and Labrador)

Please note that each check is good for only one organization.

Before requesting a police record check, first discuss with your employer which type they require. There are two common types of criminal record checks in NL:

Criminal Records Screening Certificate

This is a basic background check for applicants looking to work or volunteer for an employer or organization. This is not a Vulnerable Sector Check, which is a type of background check needed for a role working with children or vulnerable adults.

A Criminal Record Screening Certificate includes criminal convictions from the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) and/or local databases, summary convictions, for five years when identified, and findings of guilt under the Youth Criminal Justice Act within the applicable disclosure period.

Vulnerable Sector Check

A VSC is for candidates looking to work or volunteer with vulnerable persons, who are defined as a person who, because of their age, a disability, or other circumstances, whether temporary or permanent, are in a position of dependence on others or are otherwise at a greater risk than the general population of being harmed by the person(s) in a position of authority or trust to them.

In addition to the information provided in a Criminal Record Screening Certificate, a VSC also determines if the applicant has been convicted of a sexual offence listed in the schedule of the Criminal Records Act and has been pardoned.

Here is a general guideline on what types of occupations may ask for a criminal record check in NL and which kind. This list isn’t meant to be exhaustive since different employers will ask for different criminal record checks, so be sure to confirm with them before making your request.

Triton criminal record checks will satisfy a Criminal Record Screening Certificate but not VSCs.

Applicants residing in the North East Avalon region, Corner Brook, and Labrador West can get their vulnerable sector checks through the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary. Residents in other areas of NL will have to check with their local RCMP detachment.
