Certificate checks for organisations

Use certificate verification only when you are authorised to review the applicant's result.

Verify before relying

Match the displayed legal name, issue date, purpose, and result category to the document supplied by the applicant.

Keep access limited to staff who require the information for the approved purpose.

Handle results carefully

Criminal-record information is sensitive. Apply your organisation's privacy, access, retention, and breach-response controls.

Do not reuse or disclose the result for an unrelated purpose without appropriate authority.
