Police Certificate Authentication

Sterling Backcheck’s Police Certificate Authentication service provides an alternative in countries in which thorough criminal record checks can only be requested by the applicant themselves for privacy reasons. An applicant-obtained police certificate or other official criminal history record is authenticated by Sterling Backcheck through the issuing authority.

This service provides an additional layer of security by identifying attempts to alter or falsify records in countries in which an in-depth search is not available to employers and third parties.

Global Sanctions and Politically Exposed Persons (PEP)

Including sanctions background checks as part of your overall employment screening program is a quick and effective way to verify a candidate’s integrity and help meet hiring regulations. Whether you are hiring in financial, government, healthcare, or the telecommunications industry, Sterling Backcheck can help you manage your risk and compliance programs by offering government sanctions reports in critical and sensitive areas.

In North America, certain regulated industries require additional security screening for activities related to terrorism and terrorism financing in addition to standard pre-employment background checks.

A search of international sanctions and watchlists may also be required to screen criminal history in countries in which a national database of criminal records is unavailable or inaccessible by third parties.

Sterling Backcheck’s Global Sanctions and PEP database searches millions of records worldwide, including many government, regulatory and law enforcement watchlists, and other public and proprietary data sources. This helps organizations and employers to determine whether a person is a known or suspected terrorist, criminal, or Politically Exposed Person. Our Adverse Media Search also provides insight into pending criminal or civil activity that may have been captured in the news.
