International Criminal

When it comes to background checks, CI strongly recommends conducting an International criminal record searches for all districts/provinces where the subject has lived or worked outside the U.S. within the past seven to ten years. We collaborate with expert international criminal record vendors who specialize in foreign court procedures.

Our trusted vendors have extensive networks of contacts in international courts, allowing CI to retrieve criminal records from all six continents, including Mexico, Canada, and Puerto Rico. To ensure compliance with international access and privacy data laws, our vendors work closely with the FTC and U.S. Department of State.

In most countries, the justice system is divided into three tiers: local or district level, provincial level, and federal level. Initial research for criminal court information is best conducted at the district or local court level, whenever available.

These court files are often archived manually, with limited automation, requiring local investigative personnel to travel to remote locations. Alternatively, criminal records may be accessible through a local prosecutor's office, necessitating a similar approach to data collection.

It's important to note that the crimes and offenses reported in international records are comparable to felonies in the United States. If available within a particular country, less serious offenses (misdemeanors) will also be included in the report.

By choosing CI's International criminal record search, you gain comprehensive insights into the subject's international background. We go the extra mile to ensure that relevant information is obtained, even if it requires navigating the complexities of foreign court systems.

With our diligent approach and adherence to international access and privacy data laws, you can make informed decisions and mitigate potential risks in your hiring process. Protect your organization by accessing a wealth of international criminal record information.
