International Background Check
GLOBAL reports all criminal information found in an overseas courthouse’s records and or police records maintained by local law enforcement agencies and/or Central Criminal Justice Agencies as it conforms to local data privacy statutory provisions regulating legal employment access. Court files are usually archived manually with very little automation and require local investigative personnel to travel to remote locations. Records may also be available through local a prosecutor’s office requiring a similar approach to data collection.
On average reports will include 7 years of research, the Country, Province, or City where a record exists, the disposition, sentence, date of sentence, case number, date of the offense, the classification and defendant’s name, address, date of birth, if available.
