Biometrical Criminal Clearance Check
A Biometrical Criminal Clearance Check is a comprehensive security process that utilizes biometric technology to verify and validate an individual’s identity and assess their criminal background history, if any.
This advanced clearance method involves the collection of fingerprints.
In this process, the individual’s biometric information is compared against criminal databases to determine if there is any record of criminal activity associated with that person. This type of clearance is considered highly reliable and accurate, providing an extra layer of confidence in vetting individuals for various purposes, such as employment, access to sensitive areas, or legal matters.
Overall, a Biometrical Criminal Clearance Check combines the power of biometric technology with criminal background checks to offer a thorough and secure means of assessing an individual’s possible criminal history and identity.
Our Biometrical Criminal Clearance Check is accepted for the National Credit Bureau (NCR) application as well.

Expungement of Criminal Record
Expungement of a criminal record is a legal process through which a person’s criminal conviction or arrest record is sealed or erased in the eyes of the law. Essentially, it is a way to remove or mitigate the impact of a past criminal offense from an individual’s record. The specific laws and procedures for expungement vary by jurisdiction, but the primary goal is to provide individuals who have made mistakes in their past with an opportunity for a fresh start.
Once a criminal record is expunged, it is typically treated as though it never occurred, and the individual can legally deny or fail to acknowledge the expunged offense in most circumstances, such as during a job application or background check. Expungement is often available for certain types of offenses, particularly minor offenses or those committed by juveniles, and the eligibility criteria depend on the jurisdiction and the nature of the offense.
It’s important to note that not all criminal records are eligible for expungement, and the process can be complex. Consulting with a legal professional is advisable for those considering pursuing expungement.
