International Criminal Record checks made simple with DDC

At Due Diligence Checking we can support you with your international criminal record checking requirements alongside your DBS checks. We understand the difficulties in obtaining complaint overseas criminal record checks due to the varying processing requirements and accessibility from country to country. Using our years of experience processing DBS, PVG and Access Northern Ireland checks, and our carefully selected partners, you can be confident that you can request compliant and legal international criminal record checks.

Why request an international criminal record check?

Criminal record checks in some industries are an important requirement in the UK. Therefore, if an applicant has previously lived overseas, obtaining a criminal record check from the country they have previously worked or lived is seen as best practice. If you are screening candidates against the Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS), then it is a requirement to complete overseas checks where there is evidence of a lack of UK residence. Applicants must declare any significant periods (6 months or more in the past 3 years) of time living abroad.

Therefore when screening overseas candidates, completing an international criminal record check provides you with all the information to make an informed decision. This also demonstrates to your clients, that you take compliance seriously.
