Public Check
The Public Check by illion Tenancy is a quick background check. It performs instant simultaneous searches for information on your applicant through over a dozen sources, including several international sources. Searching parameters can be changed to research 37 other countries.
The Public Check results are matched by your applicant's names only, not birthdate, therefore some information may not relate to your applicant. This is because the sources that are searched do not have the applicant's birthdate recorded, or in the case of social media searches, the applicant has made their birthdate confidential in their profile settings.
Tip: we recommend including the applicants middle name (if any) into your search criteria to improve the accuracy of your search results.
Facebook and Linkedin search results will provide a link where it will generally provide several options showing our most relevant results for your applicant. You must already be logged into a Facebook and Linkedin account to view the results. Often you will identify them from the town they are from, or the pictures in the facebook account. Photos of your applicant will show depending on the applicants privacy settings in their social media account.
The person in their hometown, the person in NZ, and the person with their middle name included.
Be aware, the Ministry of Justice Tenancy Tribunal Orders database only retains orders online for a period of 36 months from the date of publishing, does not update Tribunal Orders, and does not record the tenant’s birthdate, therefore matches are not always for your applicant.
On any results, the first indicator might be the address of the tribunal order. Some Tribunal orders show a middle name so that might be an indicator. If there is a possibility it is your person, it is good to talk to them and ask them. They will generally be truthful when confronted with information about a tribunal order which is actually them.
Searches are also done for Court Judgements from the High Court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court, including drugs charges.
News stories are found based on the tenant name, so you don’t need to spend hours scrolling through multiple sites.
