Important Legal Notice
In Nigeria, comprehensive criminal background checks can be challenging due to fragmented record-keeping. We conduct thorough searches but cannot guarantee 100% completeness.
For employment purposes, ensure you have written consent from the subject. For immigration, official police clearance certificates are typically required.
