The jurisdiction and search method depend on the individual country or area being searched, and criminal record searches are only performed when/where it is our understanding that a third party may permissibly access records in the host country. As each country has its own legalities and customs, some can be searched nationwide while others can only be searched at the local area jurisdiction. Searches are conducted via the criminal register, the courts, or police as applicable. EBI provides a unique added value of authenticity by supplying actual court documentation of records information directly from the governing authority where available. |
The increased popularity of distance learning, combined with the reality of diploma mills and accreditation mills, has made it difficult for employers to determine fact from fiction when it comes to degrees, diplomas and the legitimacy of institutions that issue them. EBI has the solution for this growing global issue, and will confirm that your applicant/employee has the educational credentials to perform the job. EBI verifies the focus of study, dates of attendance, date of graduation and degree received. |
It is EBI’s understanding that customary criminal record searches are not permitted in all countries as the customs, legalities and/or privacy provisions in the countries listed prohibit complete court case information from being obtained with only a name, date of birth, or national identification number. A Criminal Conviction Database Search can be performed where court records may not be searched “directly,” as some of the countries do maintain a judicial system conviction registry and court officials in these countries may validate the specific information that has been provided to them. The conviction registry query is conducted and in the event of any possible match, the conviction case information then taken to the court for validation. In compliance with Section 613 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), case copies are then pulled to determine a positive match before any final results are reported. Please note the search cost includes both the conviction registry and case copy validation.
