about criminal background checks
Criminal Background Checks
A criminal record check in South Africa is legally required to be verified using a set of digitally captured fingerprints. Using the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS), fingerprints are verified electronically directly against the South African Police Services (SAPS) database.
Criminal Background Checks are required for:
- Pre/Post-Employment Screening.
- E-Hailing (e.g., Uber, Bolt).
- Gambling and Liquor Licenses.
- National Credit Regulator (NCR).
- South African Council for Educators (SACE).
- South African Institute of Tax Professionals (SAIT).
