Record Suspension Applications/Fingerprint Destruction, Photograph Destruction and Local File Closure

What is it?

If you have been free of criminal convictions for a period of time you may apply for a record suspension. The Record Suspension Application Guide and Forms are available from the Parole Board of Canada. The process is very basic and easy enough for anyone to do. 

Using a lawyer/third party agency does not affect processing times.
