Visit a trusted screening provider like iFacts.
Submit your fingerprints and identification documents as required.
Receive your digital criminal record report, typically within a 12 to 24 working hours.
Review the results and, if necessary, take steps to correct or expunge outdated information.

Taking this step not only boosts your confidence but also signals to employers that you’re serious, responsible, and ready to contribute.
