New Online System Makes Getting Police Records Easier Than Ever

In a groundbreaking step toward digital transformation, the Government of Belize has officially launched the new Online Criminal Records Registry—better known as the CRR system—ushering in a new era of convenience, transparency, and efficiency for the public. This forward-thinking initiative is the result of a strategic partnership between the Ministry of Home Affairs and New Growth Industries, with strong support from the Ministry of E-Governance. At the launch event, Minister Kareem Musa highlighted the CRR as a key milestone in the government’s broader mission to modernize the justice system and improve access to public services through digital innovation. So, what does this mean for you? The new CRR system allows citizens to apply for Police Records of Conduct entirely online—from application to payment, and even delivery. That means no more long lines, no more repeated trips to government offices. And for added convenience, users will receive real-time updates via SMS or email, ensuring full transparency every step of the way. But that’s not all. While the system is built for full online access, those who prefer in-person services can still apply and collect their records at designated locations. This digital leap forward is expected to significantly reduce waiting times, eliminate unnecessary bureaucracy, and make public services more accessible to all Belizeans. A modern justice system for a modern Belize—powered by technology, driven by progress.
