Criminal record check
Anyone who applies for a liquor licence in B.C. must get a criminal record check from their local RCMP detachment or police department.
A criminal record check shows whether you have been charged with and/or convicted of a criminal offence.
If you have a criminal record, the LCRB looks at the circumstances of your individual case before deciding whether to continue with the liquor licence application process.
If you have applied for a liquor licence and had a criminal record check done within the last four months, you don't need to get another one unless you are requested to.
