Information about criminal records and how to remove information about criminal records from the Ministry of Internal Affairs database

Criminal record - what it means and how it affects life

If a citizen is found guilty of a criminal offense by a court, he is considered to have been convicted. After time has passed, the criminal record may be expunged.

An outstanding criminal record limits a person in many ways:

Prohibition to hold a wide range of positions. It will not be possible, for example:

• work with minors (not only teach, but also treat);
• serve in the military under a contract;
• get a job at the prosecutor's office, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the FSB, the court, customs;
• work as the chief accountant of a joint-stock company.

The employer is required to check candidates for such positions for criminal records - a certificate will be required.

• Many employers, under any pretext, refuse to hire a candidate with a criminal record, even if the law does not prohibit him from working at the enterprise.
• Refusal to receive a loan. Banks must check for criminal records and collect information about any client offenses, including tax debts and traffic police fines.
• It is very problematic to arrange guardianship or adoption of a child, and much more.

A criminal record will be an aggravating factor if a person is brought to trial on charges of a new crime.

Psychic Evasion

Labor legislation prohibits requesting information about the employee’s health status, with the exception of information that relates to the issue of the employee’s ability to perform a labor function (Article 88 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). When hiring, the following employees are subject to mandatory medical examination:

• persons under the age of 18 (Article 69 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);
• workers engaged in heavy work and work with harmful and (or) dangerous working conditions (including underground work), as well as in work related to traffic (paragraph 1 of article 213 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);
• employees of food industry organizations, public catering and trade, water supply facilities, medical and preventive care and children's institutions (paragraph 2 of article 213 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);
• persons recruited to work in the regions of the Far North and equivalent areas from other areas (Article 324 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);
• persons hired for work performed on a rotational basis (Article 298 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);
• workers in underground work (Article 330.3 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);
• employees of certain other employers under federal laws.

At the same time, inclusion in local regulations of the obligation of employees to provide medical examination data and certificates stating that they are not registered in a psychoneurological or drug treatment clinic when hiring is unacceptable and is a violation of labor legislation.

…labor legislation prohibits requesting information about an employee’s health status, with the exception of information that relates to the issue of the employee’s ability to perform a job function…

For example, the Moscow City Court, in resolution No. 4 a-1742/11 dated August 29, 2011, came to the conclusion that the requirement established in the internal labor regulations of the employing organization is that any employee entering work in the organization must present the results of a medical examinations, violates labor laws. The requirement for an employee to present the results of a medical examination when hiring is contrary to the requirements of Art. 65 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, according to which, when concluding an employment contract, a person applying for work must not provide the employer with the results of a medical examination.

If a person did not rob or kill, where will he get a criminal record?

The Criminal Code contains many sections dedicated to non-violent crimes. A guilty verdict by a court under such articles will also mean a criminal record.

For example, a criminal record will arise if:

• evasion of payment of alimony for the maintenance of children or parents;
• poor performance of parental responsibilities in raising a child;
• fraud when obtaining a loan;
• forgery or falsification of documents;
• entrepreneurial activity without registration or license.

You can find out about a criminal record at the time the court verdict is announced - if a person is found guilty, then he becomes convicted. If the verdict is not guilty, then the citizen will be considered not convicted.

Bailiffs website

Using the bailiffs website you can find out the following information:

• about the debts of an individual, organization, individual entrepreneur;
• on open enforcement proceedings against an individual, organization, individual entrepreneur;
• about persons who are wanted on suspicion of committing a crime.

Despite the fact that with the help of this service you can find out whether a person has problems with the law, only by indirect signs, the capabilities of this database are very extensive. It includes citizens who are hiding from paying alimony and fines, serving in the army, and other violators and criminals.

When a criminal record is and is not expunged

A criminal record is expunged automatically; a separate court decision is not required:

• after the expiration of the suspended sentence - immediately;
• after the end of another sentence not related to imprisonment - after 1 year;
• after release from prison - for a period of 3 to 10 years, depending on the severity of the crime.

If a citizen behaved impeccably during the term of his sentence, and was also amnestied or pardoned, then the criminal record can be canceled by the court early. In practice, this rarely happens, rather the exception to the rule.

If during the term of a criminal record a citizen commits a new crime, then the term for it will be considered separately and will not affect the expungement of the previous conviction. In other words, the criminal record will be expunged in any case.

You can reliably find out whether you have a criminal record through an official request to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

○ Is it theoretically possible to delete a record through the court?

Yes. There is a theoretical possibility.

You can request the removal of information from the database on the basis of Part 1 of Art. 17 of the Law “On Personal Data”:

“If the subject of personal data believes that the operator is processing his personal data in violation of the requirements of this Federal Law or otherwise violates his rights and freedoms, the subject of personal data has the right to appeal the actions or inaction of the operator to the authorized body for the protection of the rights of personal data subjects or in court okay."

And also on the basis of Part 8 of Art. 17 of the Law “On Police”:

“Personal data contained in data banks is subject to destruction upon achievement of the purposes of processing or in the event of the loss of the need to achieve these purposes.”

But will the court satisfy such a requirement? Based on practice, sometimes Russian citizens managed to achieve the removal of information from the GIAC system of the Russian Federation. But we are talking about data that was entered into the database by accident or was not deleted from it by mistake.

In what cases do you need to check yourself for a criminal record?

A single online information field significantly simplifies the request for certificates from government agencies. Therefore, the practice of obtaining information about different aspects of each person’s life is becoming increasingly common. It is important to know the situation in advance and prepare for it. Let us list the nuances of situations in which you will be faced with a requirement to confirm your criminal record.

• Adoption of children and registration of custody in case of divorce.
  In Art. 127 of the RF IC regulates the conditions for registering guardianship. The adoptive parent must not have a criminal record for:
• articles related to the safety of children, families, and society as a whole;
• any serious or especially grave crimes committed intentionally.

The fact of prosecution for the listed violations (even without consideration in court) will also become an obstacle to guardianship.

• Apparatus employed.
  Particular attention is paid to screening citizens
  when applying for employment in the field of interaction with children. According to Art. 351.1 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, persons who have an outstanding conviction for intentional grave and especially grave acts are not allowed to work with minors. The rights of those who have been criminally prosecuted for similar offenses are also limited. According to Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 796 of 08/05/2015, if there is a criminal record for less serious crimes, the decision on admission is made by a special commission for the rights of minors. These rules apply even if you want to work as an individual entrepreneur in this area. For example, open a language center or a children's party agency.

According to the laws of the Russian Federation, it is necessary to check a future employee for a criminal record while working:

• in the field of transport security (No. 16-FZ dated 02/09/2007);
• in aviation (clause 3 of article 52 of the RF Air Code);
• as a founder: if you have a criminal record, you cannot have more than 10% of the voting shares of the company (Article 10.1-2 No. 39-FZ of April 22, 1996);
• civil servants (clause 1 of Article 16 No. 79-FZ of July 27, 2004);
• bailiff (clause 3 of article 3 No. 118-FZ of July 21, 1997);
• as a prosecutor (clause 2 of article 40.1 No. 2202-1-ФЗ dated January 17, 1992);
• in the FSB (Article 16 No. 40-FZ of 04/03/1995), etc.

In law enforcement agencies, in the military service and in other areas of state security, it is mandatory to check employees and students of specialized universities for criminal records. Sometimes this requirement also applies to their relatives. Commercial organizations may require a certificate of good conduct, for example, when applying for positions related to finance. In this case, it will be important that the candidate’s biography does not contain economic crimes.

• Registration of visas, residence permits, permanent residence, citizenship.
  Consulates of many countries request a certificate of good conduct when reviewing visa applications. For example, a long-term study or work visa to the United States will require this document. When immigrating to countries in the Eurozone, Latin and North America and many others, an extract from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is also required.

• Obtaining a loan from a bank.
  Since 2022, banks will automatically request information about clients from the GIAC.
  This is how financial companies evaluate the solvency and reliability of the borrower: every year the percentage of unpaid loans in our country is growing. Therefore, large banks from the top 30 in the Russian Federation pay attention to this item and have included it in the scrolling system. When applying for a loan, be sure that you will be subject to a criminal background check. Companies from the top 100 are more willing to issue loans to clients with a criminal record, but cover the risks with an increased interest rate. The security service also draws attention to the nature of the violation: if the article is about fraud, the borrower will not receive approval.

• Service under contract.
  According to paragraph 3 of Art. 23 No. 53-FZ of March 28, 1998, a citizen cannot serve in the army of the Russian Federation if he has an outstanding or unexpunged criminal record. But upon completion of the terms or as a result of rehabilitation, the restriction is lifted.

• Permission to carry weapons and hunt.
  According to Order of the Ministry of Natural Resources No. 13 of January 20, 2011, local executive authorities independently establish the rules for issuing hunting licenses in their region. Therefore, in a number of regions of the Russian Federation, in order to obtain permits, it is necessary to check the criminal record of a person who wants to hunt or use traumatic or firearms.

How to remove a criminal record from the database?

The question of how to remove a criminal record from the database worries many citizens who face difficulties in finding employment. With the introduction of information technology, criminal records are stored forever. Even if a criminal record is expunged and a person is legally considered not to have a criminal record, it is almost impossible to remove a criminal record from the Ministry of Internal Affairs database.

Important

Proposals to remove information about a criminal record from the database of the Information Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation through a certain fee are a scam.

To remove a criminal record from the database, it will not be enough to expunge the criminal record or wait a certain time, since the information is stored for life, because there is a risk of the offender reoffending. This means it is important to know whether a particular person has been previously convicted. Moreover, the database in the Russian Federation is common to everyone, so moving to another city will not help. It is possible to remove a criminal record from the database only in cases where a mistake was made by authorized employees or the court acquitted the citizen. Only if you have one of these grounds, will you be able to get rid of the label of criminal prosecution.

This is also important to know:

• processing of personal data violates constitutional rights;
• the processing of personal data has no legal basis;

In the MFC (“My Documents”).

Some multifunctional centers also provide a criminal background check service. Before going to the institution, check by phone about the possibility of obtaining a certificate. Then visit the department convenient for you and write an application. To speed up the process, download the form and fill it out at home. After 30 days you can pick up your statement.

How can social networks help?

Social networks are often used for such purposes. A huge number of people nowadays depend on social networks. In the profiles of different users you can find almost all the information about the owner of the profile. It is possible that a criminal record may also be mentioned.

Data required for verification via social networks:

Don't fall for scammers

There are a huge number of offers on the Internet that promise to instantly give out all the data about a person (residence address, criminal records, etc.). But before that, you either need to pay a certain amount for it, or enter your mobile number.

Offers of this kind are fraudulent. They were invented to scam people out of money. You should trust only verified sites, the search on which is free and does not require any additional information about the examiner.
