A Record Suspension (formerly known as a Pardon) application can be completed by individuals without the assistance of a lawyer or any other agency.

If it has been five (5) years (summary offence) or ten (10) years (indictable offence), since you completed your last sentence, you may apply to the Parole Board of Canada for a record suspension. Everything you'll need to know is included in a booklet put out by the Parole Board of Canada, which is available, free of charge from the Records office of any police agency.

Record Suspension Application Booklets may be picked up at the Fredericton Police Force at 311 Queen Street, Fredericton. The booklet may also be downloaded from the Parole Board of Canada website at http://pbc-clcc.gc.ca/prdons/servic-eng.shtml.

Part one of the application process involves submitting fingerprints. This may be done by attending the City Hall Service Center, located at 311 Queen Street, Fredericton, New Brunswick between 8:15am and 4:30pm Monday thru Friday. There is a fee of $40.00 (plus tax), and you must present two pieces of valid personal identification (one with a photo).

When your fingerprints are received back from the R.C.M.P., a copy of the Local Police Records Check form in the booklet must be taken to every police agency where you have lived in the past 5 years. In Fredericton, anytimean appointment must be made at the City Hall Service Center, located at 311 Queen Street, Fredericton, New Brunswick, along with two pieces of valid personal identification (one with a photo). We charge a fee of $30.00 (plus tax) for this service.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
You do not need a lawyer or representative to apply for a Record Suspension. This will not accelerate the review of your application, nor convey it any special status. The Parole Board of Canada treats all applications in the same way, regardless of whether it was submitted through a lawyer or private company, or directly by the applicant themself.

You can apply for a Record Suspension by following the step-by-step instructions and submitting your completed application forms to the Parole Board of Canada with a $644.88 processing fee made payable to the Receiver General for Canada.

For more information or assistance with obtaining a Record Suspension you may call the Parole Board of Canada at 1-800-874-2652.
