What the Court & Criminal Records Check API does

A criminal record check is a standard part of employment screening and vendor due diligence, and Indian court records are spread across many systems. The Court & Criminal Records Check API searches them together, matches on name, father's name and address to reduce false positives, and returns cases with enough detail for review.

Results are scored and can be routed to Profiden's analysts for adjudication when a match is ambiguous.

Consent is part of the contract

Court record searches for employment are run with the candidate's consent, captured before the request and stored with the case.

Wide coverage

District courts, high courts and tribunals in one search.
