Example: Australian Police Clearance Certificate
Individuals in Australia can request a Police Clearance Certificate (also known as a national criminal history check) on themselves.
A person may be required to present a Police Clearance Certificate as part of employment screening, as a pre-requisite for volunteer work, as preparation for a court appearance, to apply for a visa to enter/stay in some countries, or to satisfy a statutory requirement.
Individuals may seek a national criminal history check through two ways:
1.Their local police service.
2.A CrimTrac-accredited “broker” e.g. commercial background checking service provider authorised to conduct national criminal history checks for and on behalf of its customer (i.e. Health Outcomes International Pty Ltd (Trading As National Crime Check)). NPCS Accredited Agencies are listed on Australia's CrimTrac website.

“God gave the righteous man a certificate entitling him to food and raiment, but the unrighteous man found a facsimile of the same in God’s coffers, and appropriated it, and obtained food and raiment like the former. It is one of the most extensive systems of counterfeiting that the world has seen.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
