Identity Cross-Check Solutions

Candidates with a criminal record may use aliases to conceal their past criminal activities. Sterling Backcheck’s Identity Cross-Check service can be used to confirm a candidate’s personal details and reveal unknown or undisclosed aliases, incorrect information, and common name misspellings to increase the accuracy of the Canadian Criminal Record Check.

Verify Candidates’ Identity Without Acquiring Financial Information

Sterling Backcheck’s Identity Cross-Check uses the ID component of candidates’ credit files to cross-reference against the information they provided on their consent forms. Discrepancies are flagged and aliases are disclosed on the final report. The Identity Cross-Check does not affect candidates’ credit rating.

The Identity Cross-Check Verifies:

  • Legal name and aliases
  • Date of birth
  • Social Insurance Number (SIN) if provided
  • Address
  • Employment history

Obtain More Accurate Results

Candidates who know how the CPIC (Canadian Police Information Centre) system works may purposefully provide false or incomplete identifying information on their consent forms. Credit Bureaus collect identifying information over time, which may be added to the criminal record search.

As people marry, divorce, or change names, identifiers held within CPIC may become inconsistent with the information candidates may provide. Credit Bureaus have the most up-to-date identifying information, as they track it when people apply for various types of credit.
