International background checks.
Over 200 countries, each with its own sources, consent rules, fees, and turnaround. International screening is a per-country process — police certificates, local courts, registrar verifications — not a checkbox.

The short version
A U.S. database contains no foreign courts, and a U.S. clearinghouse contains no foreign universities. When a candidate lived, worked, or studied abroad, the honest product scopes each country by record type, using the partner network’s in-country sources.
If you only remember one thing
Scope international work by country and by record type. “International background check” as a single line item is how programs get a certificate from one country and silence from two others, then call it global coverage.
When you need these.

What this category includes.
- 01
International criminal search
Country-by-country criminal records
There is no global criminal database. Some countries release records to employers, some only to the person, and some nothing lawful to use in a U.S. hiring decision.
What it covers
- 02
International verifications
Overseas job and degree checks
Verifications fail in three boring ways: the school is closed, the employer wants a local consent form, the name on the diploma is not the name on the passport. Price and turnaround are per country because the work is per country.
What it covers
How these get fulfilled.
International criminal and verification products are fulfilled by network CRAs with in-country sources and local partners. Coverage, price, and turnaround are quoted per country because that is how the work is actually done.
Frequently asked questions.
Name the countries. Then search them.
Identity-verified at the front, in-country sources through the partner network, no pretend global database.
