Criminal Record Verification with AFISwitch Biometric Fingerprint Scanning

Uphando Forensic & HR Services offers criminal background verifications and/or police clearance using the AFISwitch Biometric Fingerprint Scanning system. This advanced method enhances the accuracy and reliability of criminal background verification. 

The Benefits Of AFISwitch Biometric Fingerprint Scanning:

  • Our Certified Biometric Officers can travel to your location for fingerprint scanning.
  • In South Africa, criminal record checks are legally required to be verified using digitally captured fingerprints. Our service ensures full compliance with these legal standards.
  • Studies show that fingerprint scan checks using AFIS are over 50% more accurate than criminal checks based solely on name and/or ID number clearance reducing the risk of fraud.

How It Works:

  • One of our Certified Biometric Officers will capture the candidate’s demographic information and fingerprints digitally.
  • A signed consent form accompanied by an ID copy of the candidate is required for our records.
  • The candidate’s original ID will be required when capturing demographic information.
  • The fingerprints and documentation are then submitted to MIE and AFISwitch, for verification with the SAPS Criminal Record Centre.
