Question

What is the criminal record certificate process for France?

Answer

There are several steps in this process.

1. The French Authorities email the candidate from noreply@justice.gouv.fr.

2. The candidate must respond to the email sent by the French Authorities and confirm their application.

3. The French Authorities will process the search and email the certificate/result to the candidate (usually completed within 7-8 days after the candidate responds).

4. Once the certificate is received by the candidate, the candidate needs to upload a copy to Checkr.

5. Finally, Checkr can formally initiate the background check.
