Verify criminal history, identity, court records, sanctions, and adverse information across India and selected international jurisdictions through confidential, legally compliant background checks.
City Intelligence provides professional criminal background checks for employers, individuals, families, law firms, financial institutions, investors, and multinational organizations. Our verification process helps identify potential criminal records, pending litigation, identity discrepancies, adverse media, sanctions exposure, and other risk indicators before an important personal or business decision.
With over 25 years of investigation experience, we conduct domestic and international criminal history checks through lawful court research, police-clearance document verification, identity validation, field enquiries, public-record analysis, and trusted international associates.
Checks are customized according to the candidate’s present and previous addresses, countries of residence, role sensitivity, and applicable data-protection requirements. Where an official clearance is required, the individual may need to obtain a Police Clearance Certificate or equivalent document from the relevant authority. In India, PCCs for specified overseas purposes are issued through the Ministry of External Affairs’ Passport Seva system.
From pre-employment screening and domestic-help verification to international criminal history checks, we help individuals and organizations identify risks before making critical decisions.
