You may need to do a criminal background check on yourself. You can call your local Sheriffs office and ask them if you have any open items, outstanding warrants or notices that you might have forgotten about. You can also do a work history report to find any issues your current employer or past employers are experiencing. You can also request from local courts a declaration of moral character. This is typically used when you move for work in a foreign country.

• Check with your local courts and law enforcement for legal issues.
• Employment check to make sure your current or past employers are not on a blacklist.
• Check if you or your company or the company you work for has been denied bidding rights to government contracts.
