Criminal Record Check NZ

Fast, secure criminal record check accepted by employers, agencies, and government bodies across New Zealand.

What is a Ministry of Justice (MOJ) Criminal Record Check?

A Ministry of Justice (MOJ) Criminal Record Check verifies whether a person has any criminal convictions recorded in New Zealand. This criminal record check is commonly required for employment, volunteering, visa applications, professional licensing, and other official purposes.

It is based on your legal name and date of birth, not fingerprints. It helps employers, agencies, and government bodies make safe, informed decisions about your suitability for roles involving trust, care, or regulatory compliance.

Prior to requesting your own check please confirm, prior to ordering, if our reports will be acceptable to the agency you are providing the report to.

If your criminal check is for VISA purposes, please confirm with the authorities (before you submit your application) whether a check done through a third-party company such as AIS is acceptable.
