For candidates

You were asked to verify.
Here's what that means.

An organisation has asked GovFin to verify information you provided — usually for a job, contract, registration or onboarding step. This page explains the process, your choices and how your information is handled.

Before you consent

What you should know.

Who requested it

Your invitation identifies the organisation that initiated the verification.

What is checked

Only the specific checks listed in your invitation, for the stated purpose.

Your consent

You choose whether to give informed consent before processing begins.

Your information

Documents are uploaded securely and are not shared beyond the lawful purpose.

The candidate journey

A fair, transparent process.

  • Open your secure invitation and review who requested the check and why.
  • Read the privacy notice and give or decline informed consent.
  • Confirm your details and upload only the documents requested.
  • Track what is outstanding and respond to any clarifications.
  • A person reviews material findings — a flag is never an automatic decision.

Your rights

Access, correction and disputes.

Verification must be fair. If something is wrong, you can act.
