Good decisions start with clear information, and clear information shouldn't come with surprises. Below you'll find our prices for background checks, so you know what to expect before you get in touch.
No hidden extras. Credence is not registered for VAT, so the prices below are the prices you pay.
The prices below are our standard prices, and they apply to everyone: businesses, recruitment agencies, households and individuals. If you only need the occasional check, you can head straight to our Private Client page.
If you screen regularly or in volume, we can set up an arrangement that suits how you work: the checks you need, how many, and how often. Get in touch, and we’ll talk it through.
Hiring someone to work in your home? Choose the checks that give you peace of mind, and each one is priced as listed below.
Our criminal background checks need only the candidate's South African ID number. There are no fingerprints and no trip to a SAPS office, which keeps hiring moving and saves your candidates the time and travel costs.
Turnaround times are dependent on volume. If you need a large number screened at once, such as a recruitment drive, contact us first and we’ll confirm when to expect your results. Find out more about criminal background checks.
