If an employee has a criminal record, this could compromise your workplace safety, integrity and compliance. Using the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) technology, we’ll check an individual’s criminal record status before they join your organisation.
Why Do Criminal Record Checks?
Ensure workplace
safety
Reduce the chances of hiring an individual with a history of behaving violently or in a threatening manner.

liability
Protect your business from potential financial loss or reputational harm.

Criminal record check
A criminal record check in South Africa is legally required to be verified using a set of digitally captured fingerprints. Using the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS), fingerprints are verified electronically directly against the South African Police Services (SAPS) database.
Check against an existing database
As a registered AFISwitch reseller, MIE hosts digital fingerprints that have previously been submitted to MIE and this allows registered clients to easily access an individual’s fingerprints.
IDV Biometric verifications
IDV Biometric verifications provides feedback on whether thumbprints match the identity number, the names and surname of the person linked to the identity number with the Department of Home Affairs.
