FAQs
What is an international background check?
International criminal record checks are criminal record checks in countries other than Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Depending on the country, an international check shows information on arrests and convictions, warrants and outstanding charges, court records, and/or information about national registries like sex offender registries.
What do I need to run an international background check?
To run an international background check, you need the name, date of birth, and address of the individual you’re looking for information about. However, there may be additional requirements depending on the country. Therefore, it’s best to talk to one of our experts.
What is the process?
The process for the candidate is simple:
- Select and send the checks you want to run from the global product list.
- Your candidate receives a secure, encrypted link via SMS or email asking them to complete the background check online.
- The consolidated results are available in your Certn dashboard or ATS.
How long does it take?
Turnaround times and costs depend on the country, complexity of the check, availability of the records, and the efficiency and responsiveness of the sources.
