What is the process of obtaining an MOJ Criminal Record Check?
CVCheck will facilitate the following process to obtain your Ministry of Justice NZ police check on your behalf and will liaise with Ministry of Justice where required:
- Informed Consent and Identification
The first action is to gain consent from the individual who is being checked for the Ministry of Justice criminal record check. In addition to this we, or one of our corporate clients, will certify the required identification documents.
- Check Submission and processing
A New Zealand Criminal Record Check request will be submitted to the Ministry of Justice with the provided details. Once this has been submitted, a search is conducted against the Ministry of Justice database for any recorded criminal and traffic convictions and sentencing from court appearances recorded under your details. All New Zealand criminal record checks are provided in accordance with the Criminal Records (Clean Slate) Act 2004. If you qualify, you may have the right to keep some information about your prior criminal conviction history private, and not have it within your MOJ criminal check.
- Release of results and verification
The result of an MOJ criminal conviction history check will then be provided to CVCheck and be made available to you immediately. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the results of your MOJ police check, you will need to contact us where we will then liaise with the Ministry of Justice on your behalf. We understand how important it is for our customers to get their MOJ results fast for things including pre-employment checks, and we will strive to get the results back to you as soon as possible.
