What is International Background Checks?
An international background check involves investigating an individual or a company’s history across multiple countries. This can include verifying criminal records, employment history, educational qualifications, financial standing and other relevant data. Not all countries share the same databases so an international background check requires accessing multiple sources of information from different legal jurisdictions.
International background checks are essential when individuals or businesses are based in different countries and can also be useful for the general public. Local background checks may only provide partial information, especially when the individual has a history in multiple regions. So it’s necessary to do an international check to get a full and accurate picture.
This type of background check can include verifying information found in public spaces:
- Criminal history: Searching for any criminal convictions or pending charges in multiple countries.
- Employment history: Verifying the person’s employment record across different countries.
- Educational background: Confirming qualifications and academic history from international institutions.
- Financial standing: Checking for bankruptcies, financial crimes or other financial issues.
- Social history: Investigating any public records or social media activity that could provide insight into the individual’s character.
An international background check provides a full assessment of a person’s past and character which is invaluable when making decisions that involve risk, especially when considering someone for a job.
Verify Online or Offline Connections
In today’s digital age verifying online connections is just as important as verifying offline relationships. Many individuals and businesses operate across multiple platforms, from social media networks to online business dealings. It’s essential to confirm these connections are genuine and trustworthy. Our international background checks cover both online and offline connections so you get the full picture of the person or entity in question, which can be discussed in a confidential consultation. Whether it’s verifying the authenticity of a social media profile or confirming the reliability of a business partner we leave no stone unturned.
Online verification often includes investigating:
- Social media presence: Confirming if the online persona matches the individual’s real-world activities and reputation.
- Online business activities: Checking the legitimacy of online transactions, e-commerce operations and digital presence.
- Professional networks: Verifying business connections on professional platforms like LinkedIn and others.
Offline verification, on the other hand, can include checking: - Professional background: Verifying work history, references and previous job positions.
- Criminal records: Accessing local and international databases to check for any criminal history.
- Financial and personal information: Ensuring the person’s financial status and personal details are accurate and verifiable.
Whether the connections are made online or offline, our background checks ensure every piece of information you receive is verified and reliable.

We know in today’s fast-paced world time is of the essence. That’s why we offer a fast turnaround on our international background checks so you get the information you need as quickly as possible. In many cases, we can provide results in as little as one week.
Our streamlined process allows us to gather and process data efficiently without sacrificing accuracy or detail. We use the latest technology and methodologies to ensure the information we provide is not only timely but highly reliable.
However, some checks may take longer depending on the complexity of the request or the region being investigated which can affect the overall cost. We always keep our clients informed throughout the process providing updates and ensuring they are aware of any delays and any hidden costs that may arise.
Legal Limitations on Criminal Records
While we can access a wide range of public records including police, it is important to note that there are legal limitations on criminal records especially when it comes to international checks governed by a strict code of privacy law. Some countries have strict privacy laws that restrict access to certain types of criminal records or other sensitive information.
For example, some jurisdictions may not allow disclosure of criminal convictions unless the person has served a sentence or the conviction is relevant to the specific investigation. Additionally, some countries may not have centralized databases making it harder to get complete records.
We work within these legal boundaries ensuring our investigative services and background checks are fully compliant with local laws. Our private detective agency team is knowledgeable in the legal aspects of international investigations including handling legal documents and will always operate within the scope of what is legally permissible.
Why Some Checks Take Longer?
There are several factors that can influence the time it takes to complete an international background check. The main factors are:
- Geographical location: Some countries have more robust and accessible public records systems than others. In some regions it may take longer to get the information.
- Complexity of the investigation: The more detailed the check the longer it may take. Verifying multiple aspects of a person’s background across several countries can take significant time and effort.
- Local bureaucracy: In some countries obtaining records may involve navigating slow bureaucratic processes. Local government or law enforcement agencies may not be as responsive which can cause delays.
- International coordination: When checking records across multiple countries we often have to work with various international agencies which can take additional time.
Despite these challenges we will do our best to deliver results as quickly as possible. Our team will work to overcome any obstacles and get your background check done efficiently and accurately.

International Background Checks FAQs
The cost and time it takes for an international criminal background check to be completed, especially getting information, varies depending on the country and the specifics of the investigation.

Private detectives are experts in surveillance and will do their best to remain undetected. However, if you notice someone following you or showing up at places you go, it may be a sign you are being followed. Be aware and if needed consult with a professional to confirm.
