A Comprehensive Guide to Mexico Background Checks All the Stats, Facts, and Data You'll Ever Need

1. A Comprehensive Guide to Mexico Background Checks: All the Stats, Facts, and Data You'll Ever Need Background checks are an important part of any hiring process, especially if your business will involve working with the public or handling sensitive information. Mexico is home to one of the largest segments of the Hispanic population outside of Latin America, which means it’s also a great place for businesses that cater to Spanish speakers. Since Mexico is right next door to the United States and shares a lot of cultural overlap, it’s easy for people who are not authorized to work in this country to cross the border and find jobs under fake identities.

2. In fact, there are entire industries filled with workers from south of the border who have entered the U.S. illegally and continue working here under those false identities. This guide will give you everything you need to know about conducting background checks in Mexico before bringing on new hires or contractors in your business. Why Should You Run a Background Check in Mexico? The United States is home to nearly 40 million people who are living in the country illegally, so it’s vital that you have a foolproof background check system in place to ensure that no one in your business is working with false identities. For example, if you hire an attorney who is not authorized to work in the United States, that attorney can open your business up to a huge range of civil and criminal penalties. There are also plenty of cases of people in other industries using fake identify to get jobs, such as in the healthcare field. For example, one woman from Mexico was arrested in Arizona after she obtained a job as a nurse’s assistant using someone else’s social security number.

3. Mexico Background Check Services Identity Verification - A search conducted through Consisa to validate the candidate's Mexican passport, Instituto Federal Electoral Card (IFE Card), or CURP number. The CURP number verification is Mexico's version of the USA's Social Security number Verification. It's a 18 alpha-numeric character ID number which sands for "“Clave Única de Registro de Población” which translates in English as "Unique Population Registry Code." Criminal Search - There are two ways to search in Mexico: Local or Nationwide. When searching nationally, Global Background Screening conducts a search at the State Superior Tribunal of Justice Courts, Supreme Court, Federal Justico Court, and Courts of First Instance. When having to search locally, our court runners search through the state attorney general's office based on the candidate's residential address history. Civil Search - a comprehensive national civil search conducted through Data Juridicta. Information returned will include all types of civil lawsuits, as well as, family and probate records. Mexico Directorship Search - A search conducted through the State Registro Comercio to determine if an individual is registered as a director of a company, which may be used to identify conflicts of interests. This service only provides information on current directorships. Credit Report, Mexico - A search conducted through the Circulo de Credito for the candidate's full credit abstract. Depending on future hiring laws, this search may be unavailable. Motor Vehicle Report - A search conducted through the State Secretaria de Transportes based on the candidate's residential address to verify a candidate's driver's license. Information returned will include the candidate's full name, license number, date of issue, date of expiration and the type of license issued. Note: Driving records in Mexico do not contain driving infractions. Driving related infractions are attached to the vehicle tag. GBS is unable to offer the MVR search of a vehicle tag as there is no way to tie the actual candidate to the vehicle infractions.
