Criminal records are not always readily available in foreign countries. The laws and regulations of some countries prohibit such a search or searches are only available for certain sensitive job categories, such as caring for children and the elderly. In other countries the records are not electronically available, but need to be obtained from paper files and personal interviews at the local jurisdiction or police stations.

Verifications helps you navigate these diverse requirements while complying with local laws and international data transfer regulations. Verifications will check at the level at which the records can be obtained. Criminal records are searched at the highest court in the country, lower courts, or a statement of good conduct is obtained based on the information available and legal limitations.

For countries where specific authorizations are needed, Verifications provides detailed
instructions for applicants and employers explaining the required documentation as well how
the documents need to be completed. If required, special forms are included in the
instruction packets. In very few instances pre-printed original documents are required by a
government agency. Verifications will provide these documents upon request.
