What Are A Criminal Record Check & A Vulnerable Sector Check?

Vulnerable sector is a big group of people who are susceptible to the population to suffer harm at the hands of those in locations of expert in relation to them (e.g. disabled or children,  & elderly). This type of record check will search the RCMP's National Repository of Criminal Records for your full name & birthday. Any outstanding offenses and noteworthy encounters with law enforcement throughout the last five years will also be considered when determining release. 

When going overseas, is it feasible to have a criminal history check? 

When you travel overseas, you can usually get a criminal record check. We suggest arranging with a local police station to have the necessary supporting documentation forwarded to the RCMP headquarters in Ottawa, Ontario and you may read more about this here. 

What requirements need to be fulfilled in order to proceed with the authentication and legalization process? 

Our Criminal Check Legalisation will validate a certified criminal record check or a notarized criminal record check from in Ottawa. Once Global Affairs Canada has confirmed your document, it is forwarded to the relevant diplomatic post for legalization. 

In recent years, the number of criminal background checks requiring an apostille has grown dramatically. As more UK nationals relocate abroad or look for employment in other countries, the apostille is becoming more and more necessary for background checks. 

Organizations, businesses, educational institutions, and other entities outside of the UK often request the apostille for criminal record checks as part of their screening needs. If an apostille is missing from a newly prepared criminal background check, it may not be authorized. Our apostille service will ensure that your criminal record background check is appropriately authorized for use outside of the UK so that it can be recognized in an official capacity.
