About this API

A criminal record check is a standard part of emver screening and vendor due diligence, and Indian court records are spread across many systems. The Court & Criminal Records Check API searches them together, matches on name, father's name and address to reduce false positives, and returns cases with enough detail for review.

Results are scored and can be routed to emver's analysts for adjudication when a match is ambiguous.

Consent. Court record searches for emver are run with the candidate's consent, captured before the request and stored with the case.

Typical uses

Employment screening. Criminal record check for every hire.
Vendor and director due diligence. Litigation exposure of counterparties.
Tenant screening. Civil and criminal history for rentals.
Gig and field workforce. Safety screening for customer-facing roles.

Questions

Is this the same as police verification?: No. This searches court records. Police verification is a separate, physical process run through the local police station and is not part of this API.
How are common names handled?: Matches are scored on name, relation name and address. Low-confidence matches are flagged and can be adjudicated by analysts before a result is issued.
