Canadian criminal screening is typically national in scope.
In the U.S., screening may begin with an SSN trace to identify address history, followed by appropriate county, state and federal searches. National databases may supplement this process but are not generally sufficient as a standalone search because reporting and participation can vary.
International criminal screening is jurisdiction-specific.
Record sources, access rules, documentation requirements and screening methods vary by country. Depending on the jurisdiction, screening may involve primary-source criminal searches, candidate-obtained police clearances, authentication or other available sources.
