This article provides instructions on submitting 'invited checks'. An 'invited check' is where you will invite your applicant to complete their own police check by sending them a link via email.

To start the police check process, you will need to send an email 'invitation' to your applicant. This email will then 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 themselves and upload their identity documents. If more information is required to process the application, InterCheck will contact the applicant directly to advise what additional information is required. 

How to send police check "invites" from your business portal

Step 1: On the left sidebar click New check > Start a police check

Step 2: Select Invite Check

Step 3: On this step you will need to input the application details, including:

• The check type:
  • Standard, for employment, licensing, position of trust purposes, or
  • Volunteer, for unpaid volunteering or student placement purposes

• If you selected Standard, you will need to provide the Check Category:
  • Employment, for paid employment or paid contract work
  • Licence, for licence applications or accreditation
  • Other (Position of Trust/Probity), for any other purpose where the applicant needs to present themselves as a fit and proper person

• The payment method:
  • Prepay: Business covers the cost of the police check on behalf of the applicant (by default the applicant will not have access to the certificate)
  • Passpay: Applicant pays for the police check (both the business and applicant will have access to the certificate)

• You will also have the option to input the 'check purpose' on behalf of the applicant

Step 4: Click Prepare Invitation to preview the email the applicant will receive.

At this stage, you will have the option to edit the email content. Make sure to never delete any coded text such as #FULL_NAME

Step 5: Once you have provided the required information, click Send Invitation to send your email invite to the applicant

Step 6: Once your invite is sent, you can monitor the progress of the application from the 'Manage Checks' tab
