Anyone in BC who is 18 or older and convicted of a criminal offense has a criminal record. A criminal record doesn’t include convictions under provincial laws, like the ''Motor Vehicle Act''. Criminal records are not public, but police, prosecutors, customs officers, and other officials can still see them. | Anyone in BC who is 18 or older and convicted of a criminal offense has a criminal record.
