Hi,
Regarding Criminal check which is done by a BGV co.( Vendor) had a few doubts.
1. If a candidate has current address in Telangana & permanent address in Andhra Pradesh, in 2 different states - is there a need to do 2 different checks and charge the client ( my co.) twice saying 2 different checks were done? if it is based on name, dob & identification no. wont it be available/stored at one location where the entire criminal history of the candidate appears? asking specifically for Telangana & AP.
2. Should the CC report be sent/signed by an advocate from that particular state ( from where the check was done) only or can be given by any legal firm? for ex: our vendor is in Bangalore and the CC report for both the states are given by the legal firm based out of Bangalore ( assuming the vendor has a tie up with this legal firm)

Conducting criminal background checks for candidates with addresses in different states can be complex. Here are some practical considerations:

1. Multiple Checks: It is advisable to conduct separate criminal checks for each state where the candidate has resided. This is because criminal records are typically maintained at the state level, and discrepancies or additional information may exist between states. While it may incur additional costs, it ensures a comprehensive screening process.

2. Legal Signatory: Ideally, the criminal check report should be signed by a legal professional from the state where the check was conducted. However, if your vendor has a reliable tie-up with a legal firm in Bangalore that can provide accurate and valid reports for Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, it could be acceptable. Ensure that the legal firm is reputable and authorized to conduct such checks in the respective states.

3. Verification Process: Verify the credentials and authorization of the legal firm providing the reports. Confirm that they adhere to the legal requirements and standards for conducting criminal background checks in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.

4. Client Communication: Transparently communicate with your client about the necessity of conducting separate checks for different states and the reasons behind it. This helps in managing expectations and showcasing the thoroughness of the screening process.

By following these steps, you can ensure a robust and compliant criminal background verification process for candidates with addresses in different states.
