Background Check Services

Criminal Background Checks

Criminal screening can help when a hiring or rental decision involves trust, access, safety, property, or sensitive information. Fastkey helps teams request checks through a clear digital process, so the applicant knows what to complete and your team can review the result in one place.

Businesses and landlords can start with Fastkey’s [criminal record check workflow](https://fastkey.com/product/criminal-record-checks). Individuals who need a check for work, volunteering, licensing, or a personal requirement can use [personal criminal record check requests](https://fastkey.com/product/criminal-record-checks-for-individuals).

For local search support, Fastkey also has pages for [criminal background checks in Quebec](https://fastkey.com/criminal-background-check-quebec) and [Montreal background checks](https://fastkey.com/background-checks-montreal).

Employment Screening

Hiring teams need screening that matches the job. A role with access to client files, finance tasks, company property, or safety duties may call for more review than a low-risk role.

Fastkey helps employers choose relevant checks and keep the candidate process simple. Your team can use the platform to send requests, collect consent, and review results without building a new tracking system from scratch.

Employers can begin with [business screening solutions](https://fastkey.com/who-we-serve/business) for more [employee criminal record checks in Quebec](https://fastkey.com/blog/employee-criminal-record-checks-in-quebec) and [employee checks in Quebec City](https://fastkey.com/blog/employee-criminal-record-checks-in-quebec-city).

Identity Verification

Identity checks help confirm that the person completing the request is connected to the file. This is important when applications are completed online, when applicants are remote, or when documents need to be tied to the right person.

Fastkey’s [identity verification service](https://fastkey.com/product/identity-verification) can help reduce fake applications, document mismatch, and manual review gaps.

For stronger risk review, Fastkey also supports [AML and PEP identity screening](https://fastkey.com/product/identity-aml-pep). This can help when your workflow needs extra review before your team moves ahead.

Credit & Financial Screening

Credit and income details can be useful when a file needs financial context. For rentals, this may help landlords review payment habits. For some professional or employment use cases, financial screening may be relevant when the role involves money, trust, or account access.

Fastkey offers [credit score reports](https://fastkey.com/product/credit-score-report) when credit review fits your approved process. When income or tax document support is needed, Fastkey can help with [CRA document retrieval](https://fastkey.com/product/canada-revenue-agency-documents).

Compliance & Risk Screening

Some files need added care before approval. That may include identity checks for regulated work, AML/PEP review, or income document collection for lending, rental, or professional service workflows.

Fastkey supports these needs through [AML and PEP identity screening](https://fastkey.com/product/identity-aml-pep) and [CRA document retrieval](https://fastkey.com/product/canada-revenue-agency-documents). These tools help your team request sensitive details in a more organized way.

Tenant Screening

Tenant screening in Quebec should help landlords review applicants without asking for more than they need. A rental file may include identity review, credit details, income documents, landlord references, and application details.

Fastkey helps landlords and property managers collect useful information through a cleaner workflow. You can explore [landlord screening support](https://fastkey.com/who-we-serve/landlords) or [property manager screening workflows](https://fastkey.com/who-we-serve/property-managers).
