Performing a criminal record check depends on the jurisdiction

Krib Information Services can perform a range of criminal record background checks across the globe. Every country has its own system of recording criminal convictions and court proceedings. Some countries, such as India, mainly retain manual records at state, district, metro and local level. Others have centralized computer databases at state, federal or national level. Legislation pertaining to what records may be interrogated also varies between national and state jurisdictions. It means the investigative techniques and effort required vary with the location and also with the depth of investigation that is required. However, we have wide experience in successfully completing criminal record checks.

We review each investigation individually depending on the requirements of the client, the nationality and country of residence of the subject, and the jurisdictions involved that need to be checked for criminal activity.

Why is Criminal Record Check Necessary?

It is vital to conduct a thorough criminal background check to keep the workplace secure. In other words, anyone hired for any position must have a spotless past. To be sure, the employer does a background investigation. The organization searches pertinent databases involving the candidate’s name in civil action, regulatory compliance, and criminal activity.

In addition to conducting a background check in India, it is vital to scan the global database to see whether the candidate has any connections to any crimes or offences.

It is crucial for an employee to send verified documents to the hiring department for the smooth functioning of the process.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How to get a criminal record check in India?
An individual can apply for a police verification report or a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) through their State Police citizen portal (or Passport Seva for a passport-related PCC), submitting ID and address proof such as Aadhaar, passport or voter ID. Processing times vary by state and typically range from a few days to a few weeks. Employers usually work with a verification partner such as Krib, which checks court and police records with the candidate’s consent.
Do companies check criminal records?
Criminal background checks are significant to the company, and they ensure they are thorough, accurate, and reliable. Background checks on applicants are extremely important to any company. A background check could include a variety of services, depending on the role and the company.
Can I get PCC from a local police station?
To get a PCC certificate from your local police station, follow these steps: Go to your nearest police station. Provide information to the police officer, who will conduct a background check and ask about the purpose of your application. Provide self-attested documents as listed on the Passport Seva portal.
How to check criminal record by Aadhaar card in India?
There is no public service that returns a criminal record from an Aadhaar number alone. Aadhaar is used as identity proof when applying for a police verification report or Police Clearance Certificate through your State Police citizen portal or Passport Seva. Employers can request a criminal record check through a verification partner, with the candidate’s consent.

How Criminal Record Checks Work in India

There is no single public criminal database that employers can search. A reliable check combines several sources, matched to every place the candidate has lived.

MethodWhat it coversWho can request it
Court record checkCivil and criminal cases in district and high courts, searched by the candidate’s name and address detailsEmployers, through a verification partner, with the candidate’s consent
Police verificationRecords held by the local police station for the candidate’s addressUsually the individual, through the State Police citizen portal or local station
Police Clearance Certificate (PCC)Clearance issued through Passport Seva, mainly for passport and overseas employment purposesThe individual
Database screeningGlobal sanctions, watch lists and regulatory databasesEmployers, through a verification partner

Can you check a criminal record with an Aadhaar card? Not directly. Aadhaar proves identity, but it is not linked to a criminal record that the public or employers can look up. Aadhaar is used as identity proof when an individual applies for police verification, and by verification companies to make sure the right person is being checked.

Why addresses matter: court records in India are mostly kept at district level, so a check limited to the current city can miss a case filed where the candidate lived earlier. Krib checks the jurisdictions linked to both the current and permanent address, and combines this with address verification and an identity check.
