Q:

What does a Swedish criminal records check involve?

A:

It is a check against the Swedish Security Service's criminal records register. The check is intended to demonstrate that the person concerned does not have a criminal record. Forsmark cannot perform this check without permission, therefore the individual concerned must give their consent. Forsmark needs the Application for a criminal records check and the Consent to a criminal records check forms to be completed.
