What a criminal background check in Malaysia can cover
Police criminal records in Malaysia are confidential and only released to the person themselves or to authorised agencies. A lawful criminal background check therefore looks at what is public: court cases, published judgments, bankruptcy records and news reports — and asks the person to provide their own police record clearance where it is needed.
Court record check and litigation check
A court record check and litigation check looks for civil and criminal cases involving a person or company, including suits for debt, fraud or breach of contract.
Bankruptcy check in Malaysia
A bankruptcy check confirms whether a person is, or was, an undischarged bankrupt — essential before you lend money, hire someone into a finance role or appoint a director.
Adverse media and reputation
We search news and online sources in English, Malay and Chinese for fraud, scandals and disputes linked to the person or company.
Police background check and how to check a criminal record in Malaysia
A police background check in Malaysia — a police clearance or good-conduct letter — is applied for by the person themselves through the Royal Malaysia Police, usually for a job, a visa or immigration. If you need to know about someone's criminal record, the lawful route is to ask the candidate to obtain it and show it to you, with their consent. Alongside that, we check what is public: court cases, judgments, bankruptcy and reliable news reports.
Company background check in Malaysia
A company background check starts with an SSM company record check — directors, shareholders, registered address, financial statements and charges — and goes further: is the business really operating at that address, who controls it behind nominee directors, and is it linked to struck-off or failed companies?

The law and the limits
Police criminal records in Malaysia are confidential and not available to private investigators; we never obtain them unlawfully. Our checks use public court, insolvency, company and media records, which often show what matters. Records must be matched carefully — the same name does not mean the same person.
