How To Send Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check "Invites"

This article provides instructions on submitting 'invited checks'. An 'invited check' is where you will invite your applicant to complete their Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check by sending them a link to our platform via email.

To start the process:

• Initiate an email 'invitation' to your applicant.
• This email will prompt the applicant to register an account with InterCheck or login to their existing account.

For 'invited checks':

• The applicant will complete the application form on our platform and upload their identity documents.
• If more information is required to process the application, InterCheck will contact the applicant directly to request further details.
