A CPIC name check is a search of an individual’s name and date of birth through the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC), Canada’s national police database managed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Police services use this search to identify potential matches to criminal records, outstanding warrants, court orders, or other police information linked to the provided biographical details. Because it is based on name and date of birth rather than fingerprints, the check may generate possible matches that require further verification to confirm identity.
A CRJMC name check, also known as Criminal Matters and Judicial Matters Check is a comprehensive level two name check required for purposes including employment screening, volunteer positions, licensing and certifications requirements. CRJCM report includes previous criminal convictions, outstanding charges or warrants, court findings or probation orders and charges that did not result in convictions.
