Error - ID Verification on Staff Screening Portal


I have just submitted a SACE / Criminal check on the staff screening portal and I received an error message – what does this mean?

Example:  Pop up error

Example: Error on Employee List under Criminal Check Status

Hover over Error message to see more details

This means that the name captured on your staff member’s profile does not correspond to the name captured on the Department of Home Affairs.

To ensure that the data we submit with the Criminal / SACE Check is accurate we do an ID Verification directly against the department of home affairs to confirm the ID number, Name and Surname do in fact belong to the person that you want to check against.

If we find the name or surname does not match this may mean:

·        The ID number is captured incorrectly

OR

·        The first name or surname has been changed or updated at the South African Department of Home Affairs.

To continue past this message you are required to verify the details against the staff members ID and to correct this record according to the Home Affairs system.

Updating the Name or ID Number:

·      You can update by Clicking the Click here, to update employee details on the error message OR click View and Update on the Consumer on Employee List

·        Update the given field

·        Click Update

·        Click Submit SACE Check or Submit Criminal Check on the Staff member

·        The system will then verify ID details and if correct give you a Success message with a CRC Number
