Record Suspension Pardon Applications

A record suspension (formerly known as a pardon) allows people who were convicted of a criminal offence to have their criminal record removed and kept separate and apart from other records.

You will need a local record search done by each police service where you live now and from every place you have lived in the last five years.

You can apply online or in person.
