Question 1

Why should I verify a background check result?

Accepted Answer

Verifying a result confirms that the PDF report is genuine, was issued by LawCheck through SecureOnlineScreening, and has not been altered or tampered with. This protects employers, regulators, and organizations from accepting fraudulent documents.

Question 2

Where do I find the verification code?

Accepted Answer

The verification code is printed on the official background check PDF report. It is typically found near the top or bottom of the document, labelled as a verification or confirmation code.

Question 3

Who should use result verification?

Accepted Answer

Result verification is primarily used by employers, HR departments, licensing bodies, rideshare platforms, and other organizations that have received a background check report from an applicant. Applicants can also use it to confirm their own results are correctly issued.

Question 4

Is the verification portal secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The verification portal is operated by SecureOnlineScreening, the accredited platform LawCheck uses to deliver background checks. All verification is encrypted and no personal information is stored during the verification process.

Question 5

What does a successful verification confirm?

Accepted Answer

A successful verification confirms that the report was legitimately issued through the SecureOnlineScreening platform, that the document is authentic, and that the results have not been modified since issuance.
