FAQs

A National Police Check (NPC) will search an individual’s details against the police history database. Police personnel will determine the information that may be disclosed, based on relevant spent conviction legislation and/or information release policies.

This check searches national and local records to identify disclosable police history or disclosable court outcomes associated with your candidates.

To run a police check, you have to provide a full name, date of birth, and email.

Our platform makes it fast for you to initiate a police check, and our online application makes it easy for your candidate to submit the information that the police databases require to process the check.

  1. Select and send the police checks you want to run from the product list.
  2. Your candidate receives a secure, encrypted link via email asking them to complete the background check online.
  3. The consolidated results are available in your Certn dashboard or ATS.

Turnaround times vary based on the location and the candidate’s completion time. Most police checks are returned in 5-15 days.

Our customers love our police checks.

An absolutely brilliant online police check application. I do criminal and police checks in multiple countries twice a year for my job and the Australian Intercheck facility is the fastest and easiest. I’m also reminded to renew my Intercheck regularly, and the price is perfect too.

We looked at 8 different providers, and we’re so happy we made the switch to Certn! They were able to integrate with our ATS to deliver faster and cheaper background checks for MYOB, with a much better candidate experience.
