Criminal Verification

Criminal record check, also termed as police verification, ensures that some additional facts, information and background data on an individual come to the forefront allowing the person to make an informed decision. This verification entails checking a person's criminal history to assess his or her trustworthiness. In most cases, the verification lists all non-expunged criminal offenses.  

With a big difference between the US and the Indian system, criminal verification in India is more difficult as there are no Felony or Misdemeanor courts in India like US. Instead, India has Police Departments of various states and metros. With each Indian state having its own system of functioning, and absence of computerized database in many cases, as almost all records are filed manually, it becomes difficult to verify criminal records.  

If a person has resided in more than one address in the same city or at different cities, separate searches as per concerned police station of the area of residence must be conducted.  

The details required for criminal verification are correct and full name and address of the applicant, date of birth, full name of father/spouse, and an ID proof.
