Criminal record extracts

The criminal record and the register of criminal suspects contain information pertaining to those reasonably suspected or convicted of a crime.

Changes to the extract for work in schools from 15 July 2026

From 15 July 2026, the extract for work in schools will be expanded to include more types of crime. It will also include an extract from the criminal suspects register for suspicions that have led to prosecution for the same types of crime. The validity period will be changed from 1 year to 6 months. The extract will be renamed the register extract for work within the educational system, as work in, for example, Municipal adult education will also be covered by the register check.

It is free to order an extract from the criminal record, except for extracts to be used abroad.
