Criminal Check Validity?

How Long is my Criminal History Check Valid?

A criminal history check provides a snapshot of an individual's police records at the time of issuance. There is no set validity period for the result, as it reflects the status at the moment it's completed. The organisation requesting the check typically determines its acceptable validity timeframe, based on their specific risk assessment or operational needs.
