Overview

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 emver'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.

FAQ

Court & Criminal Records Check API: frequently asked questions

What teams ask before adding the Court & Criminal Records Check API to their integration.

No. This searches court records. Police verification is a separate, physical process run through the local police station and is not part of this API.

Matches are scored on name, relation name and address. Low-confidence matches are flagged and can be adjudicated by analysts before a result is issued.
