- Criminal Record Check
- Civil Litigation Check
- Credit Check
How does the background check process work for a domestic helper?
The process is simple:
- Select Your Location: Tell us where you are based, where the domestic helper is from, and where they’ve worked before.
- Helper Consent & Documents: Your domestic helper will be notified right away. They just need to give their consent and upload their required documents.
- Get the Background Check Report: Receive your domestic helper background check report straight to your inbox or WhatsApp within 24 hours.
How long does a background check take?
For domestic helpers from Hong Kong, India, Philippines, Singapore and Taiwan, background check reports are typically delivered within 24 working hours after we receive the helper’s consent and all required documents.
For helpers from other countries, the turnaround time may be longer, depending on local laws, regulations, and the availability of official records.
Is the helper's consent mandatory?
Yes. Helper consent is mandatory. The background check starts only after the helper provides consent and uploads the required documents. This ensures the process is ethical, legal, and respectful.
What happens if the helper does not give consent?
The background check cannot start without the helper’s consent. If your helper does not provide consent, the request will be paused or cancelled.
How do I receive the domestic helper's background check report?
Once the background check is complete, we will deliver the report based on the method you chose when placing your order (via WhatsApp or email). You can also log in to your account dashboard to view and download the full report securely at any time.
How much does a background check cost?
Our base price is USD 199 for the helper’s home country, which includes a Civil Litigation Check, Credit Check, and Criminal Record Check.
If your helper has worked in multiple locations, it is USD 199 for each additional country. We also offer an optional Replacement Coverage add-on for USD 60, which gives you a free background check if you change helpers within 3 months.
Here are a few examples of how the pricing works:
- 1 Country: USD 199
- 2 Countries: USD 398 ($199 + $199)
- 3 Countries: USD 597 ($199 + $199 + $199)
What is the 3-month replacement coverage?
If you add replacement coverage to your order and need to change your domestic helper within 3 months, we will run the background check for your next helper at no extra cost.
Please note: The free replacement check is valid for the same country or countries chosen in the original order. Adding new or extra countries will incur additional charges.
