An international background verification may contain details of an individual’s disclosable court outcomes, any pending charges and any other requested history check. The verification is performed by retrieving data from national or international databases from the related countries applied. It is possible that certain convictions, for example, juvenile or spent convictions, may not be included in a background check in accordance with various jurisdictions legislation.

Once the applicant has provided all the required information and ID documents, it can take up to 5-10 business days for an international background check depends on the country and type of departments/ sources we are dealing with.

However, some Background Check requests are delayed for further review by the related third-party service providers. This might delay the processing of the background check anywhere from another 2 to 15 business days. In some exceptional cases, this process may take longer. Please note that it is not possible to predict whether your check will be selected for further review.  The review process is out of our control. We recommend placing your order well in advance of at least 10 days- before the date in which you might need your background check certificate.
