### Canadian Criminal Record Check: Basic

**Canadian Criminal Record Check: Basic**

**Identifier:** `BASIC_CANADIAN_CRIMINAL_RECORD_REPORT_1`

The Basic Canadian Criminal Record Check searches the standard federal Canadian criminal records database. Reported results are based on the candidate's name and date of birth. This check verifies the accuracy of disclosed criminal convictions for indictable, hybrid and summary offences for which a pardon has not been granted. Note that not all summary convictions are reported and therefore cannot always be confirmed with this check. This check requires a successful identification verification prior to fulfillment of this service.

**Note:** This check is ordered via invite or through a parent check. Applicant data is collected via the invite form and is not sent in the API request body.

### Response

**201 Created** — Successfully ordered. Use the returned `id` to retrieve the full case via `GET /api/public/cases/{id}/`.
