As a natural person, you can make queries:
- about yourself;
- regarding a minor or legal person associated with you;
- about another natural or legal person;
- about another person on the basis of an authorisation;
- regarding restrictions on working with children.
Pursuant to clause 20 (1) 1) of the Criminal Records Database Act, a query may be made to the Criminal Records Database regarding restrictions on working with children if it is necessary to verify whether a person meets the requirements laid down by law for working with children. The purpose of checking restrictions on working with children is to protect children from abuse in nursery schools, schools, sports clubs, and other similar places. For example, if a parent needs to check the background of a childminder or other person working with children (i.e. the parent is allowing the person to work with the child), they may make an query regarding restrictions on working with children. Further information can be found on the page Checking restrictions on working with children.
A query regarding another natural or legal person is subject to a fee. You can read more about paying state fees under State Fees.
If you wish, you can authorise another natural or legal person via the e-File to make free queries regarding information concerning your punishment (Authorisations --> My authorisations).
The e-File issues a digitally stamped extract from the Criminal Records Database. A digitally stamped extract from the Criminal Records Database is an official document.
The response to a query regarding restrictions on working with children is displayed in the e-File application, and no digitally stamped extract is issued. If you require a digitally signed or paper-based official document, you must complete an application and submit it directly to the Criminal Records Database. For more details on requesting an extract from the Criminal Records Database, see Issuing a notice from database.
