Hiring made compliant withGlobal Database Verification

Trusted by 8,000+ companies
Why the Source Database Matters
A name search on the open web isn't sanctions screening. Global Database Check uses the same institutional-grade infrastructure banks and financial institutions rely on for AML and compliance.
The Same Database Global Banks Use
LSEG's (Refinitiv) World-Check is the sanctions and PEP screening infrastructure used across global banking and compliance.
Built for Real Investigations
Screens for UN, EU, OFAC and UK-HMT sanctions, PEPs and their known associates, and FBI/Interpol/DEA records not just a name lookup.
Point-in-Time, Stated Honestly
Results reflect the report date. It's a screening at a point in time, not continuous monitoring.
Honest About Its Limits
Adverse-media coverage for India-specific and vernacular news is limited we don't market this as a catch-all media screen.
The Global Database Verification Process
A structured screen against a live, institutional sanctions and watchlist database - not a manual search.
1
Identity Confirmed
Name and DOB are validated against PAN for domestic candidates and passport or national ID for international candidates.
2
World Check Initiated
Identity fields are securely submitted to LSEG's World-
Check database through our
vendor integration.
3
Report Validated
The returned report is checked
for a name and DOB match and reviewed for any unresolved matches before grading.
4
Graded & Delivered
A clean report with no matches is graded Verified. Any genuine hits
go to manual QC review and are graded Discrepant.
Everything a Global Database Check Uncovers
Every case delivers full match detail, not just a pass/fail flag.
Sanctions List Matches
Hits against UN, EU, OFAC and UK-HMT sanctions lists.
PEP & Associate Checks
Politically exposed persons and their known relatives or close associates.
Law-Enforcement
Matches against FBI, Interpol and DEA records where they exist.
Regulatory Debarments
Regulatory or professional debarment listings covered by World-Check.
Report Date Stated
The exact point-in-time the screening reflects, so you know how current the result is.
Full Match Detail
For any hit, the specific list and the basis for the match not just a pass/fail label.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Global Database Verification?
It screens a candidate against LSEG's (Refinitiv) World-Check database - covering UN, EU, OFAC and UK-HMT sanctions lists, politically exposed persons (PEPs) and their associates, FBI/Interpol/DEA records, and regulatory debarments.
Does this cover OFAC?
Yes - OFAC SDN screening is part of World Check. However, standalone OFAC, GSA, or OIG exclusion checks are separate, more specialized checks and aren't a substitute where a regulation specifically requires one of those by name.
Does this cover adverse media?
Only partially. World Check includes limited adverse-media screening, but coverage of India-specific and vernacular-language news is limited. We're upfront about this rather than presenting it as a comprehensive media check.
Is SSN screening included for international candidates?
No. SSN is a US-resident identifier that requires a dedicated US background-check provider - it isn't part of World Check screening.
How current is the result?
It's a point-in-time result, accurate as of the report date.
What happens if a match is found?
If the name and DOB match the candidate and a genuine match is found in the database, the check is routed to manual QC review and graded Discrepant, with the match detail included in the report.
