Criminal Record & Background Checks

Hiring the wrong candidate can be a costly mistake, leading to wasted time, financial losses, and potential legal repercussions. To mitigate these risks, businesses, government agencies, and organizations increasingly rely on professional background verification services to ensure due diligence in hiring and contract engagements.

At Maritect, we offer comprehensive background and criminal record checks with a fast turnaround time of 24 hours or less. Whether you need a simple record confirmation or an in-depth investigation, our services help you minimize risks and ensure compliance with industry standards.

Required Identification for a Record Check: To process a background check, applicants must provide the following:

  1. Primary ID: A valid government-issued photo ID that displays the applicant’s current residential address. If the ID does not show the current address, additional supporting documents must be provided, such as a recent (less than 30 days old) bank statement, valid vehicle insurance, or a vehicle permit.
  2. Secondary ID: A document such as a birth certificate, passport, study permit, or work permit.

Please Note: Nova Scotia Health Cards and Social Insurance Number (SIN) cards are not accepted as valid identification.

For further inquiries about acceptable identification documents, please contact our office at (902) 270-3161.
