I'm so new to this page and havent figured out how to search for the topic im asking about. Forgive me if this is redundant! 

I have an RCMP background check that I completed in March. My local OPP did the fingerprinting and royally messed it up, causing me to redo it.... the final copy I received doesn't say "other" like many others have said theirs does... mine says "non certified". I contacted the RCMP and one of the officers explained that it is a contradiction to order a certified record check under the privacy act as they cannot certify it with a seal... I wasn't going to worry about it.. but now I am seeing many others saying their form says "other" so I'm going to redo my background check.. But now I have seen that the RCMP says the Privacy Act Request has changed... Im not sure what this means in terms of me obtaining the right document? Do I still request the BC under the privacy act? 
Sorry for rambling, hopefully someone can make sense of it. Thank you in advance

Looks like they changed the name of the document to Criminal Record Check for personal use. Check the 2021 rcmp update tab. The police clearance will say “for active criminal record” instead of other.
