How much does a record suspension cost?
A record suspension involves government and third-party disbursements - fingerprints, court documents, and local police checks - that vary by how many convictions and cities are involved. Professional application support is separate and quoted after eligibility review.
Cost breakdown
| Item | Notes |
|---|---|
| Parole Board of Canada filing | Required with every application |
| RCMP electronic fingerprints | Varies by accredited provider |
| Proof of Conviction (per offence) | Varies by court / province |
| Local police record check (per city, past 5 years) | Varies by municipality |
Amounts change by jurisdiction. We outline what applies to your file during the free eligibility review.
DIY vs application support
DIY: Best for straightforward single-conviction cases when you have time to follow PBC instructions precisely and handle disbursements yourself.
Professional support: Adds service fees for document coordination, form preparation, and human review. Value increases with multi-jurisdiction records, archived court files, and complex Measurable Benefit narratives.
Fee transparency
Nationwide quotes service fees only after confirming eligibility. You always know what is a government or third-party disbursement versus our support fee before committing.
