At Worker Checks, we use advanced biometric verification technology to securely confirm your identity before processing your Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check (NCCHC) and International Police Check.
This cutting-edge system ensures that every applicant’s identity is verified quickly, accurately, and in full compliance with ACIC (Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission) standards — so you can complete your Worker Checks Police Check entirely online with no certified documents required.
What Is Biometric Verification at Worker Checks?
Biometric verification is the process of matching your facial image to your official ID using secure digital analysis.
When you complete a Worker Checks Police Check, our system compares your live photo (“selfie”) to the image on your passport or driver licence, confirming that you are the legitimate document holder.
This digital identity-matching method replaces traditional manual ID certification — making Worker Checks one of Australia’s fastest and most reliable identity-verification platforms.
How Worker Checks Biometric Verification Works
When prompted during the application process with the link sent to your mobile device:

- Take a Live Selfie
The Worker Checks verification of identity platform prompts you to capture a live selfie. The technology performs liveness detection to confirm it’s a real-time image, not an uploaded file.
- Automated Biometric Match (≈ 5 Seconds)

- Verification Complete → Police Check Begins
Once biometric verification is confirmed, your Worker Checks Police Check will proceed to the next stage of the application process.
