The individual must consent
Under ACIC guidelines, an NCCHC must be consented to and submitted by the individual being checked. You can't submit a police check for another person without their explicit knowledge and consent.

- Set up a business account to send application invitations to candidates — each candidate still completes their own identity verification and consent.
