Since information about criminal records is classified as information of limited access, they are provided only at the request of authorized bodies, operational officers of law enforcement agencies and officials. For example, a qualification collegium of judges may make such a request to appoint candidates submitted to it for the office of a judge.
Step 2
When applying for a job, a company can simply ask a candidate for a vacancy to fill out a questionnaire asking about a criminal record. In addition, it would be reasonable to ask in the questionnaire whether it is possible to collect and verify personal information in relation to the candidate, as well as ask the person to independently bring you a certificate of no criminal record.

But keep in mind that according to the Labor Code, having a criminal record is not an obstacle to hiring. Although there are a number of positions that persons with a criminal past do not have the right to occupy. These are judges, prosecutors, investigators, law enforcement officers, etc. Direct bans on hiring people with a criminal record are established in some federal laws. As a rule, they concern the civil service.
Step 4
At the moment, the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of November 1, 2001 No. 965 "On approval of instructions on the procedure for providing citizens with certificates of the presence (absence) of a criminal record" is in force. It establishes the procedure for working with applications from citizens of the Russian Federation and persons located on the territory of the Russian Federation, about the issuance of certificates to them about the presence or absence of a criminal record. The GIAC of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and the information centers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Central Internal Affairs Directorate, the Internal Affairs Directorate are directly involved in applications for the issuance of police clearance certificates.
Step 5
Applications for the issue of a certificate of no criminal record are accepted from citizens upon presentation of their passports in the relevant structural divisions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (you can contact the Ministry of Internal Affairs at your place of residence, from where your application will be sent to information centers). A police clearance certificate is issued to the applicant in person, against signature and upon presentation of a passport. Unclaimed police clearance certificates within 2 months after their consideration are written off marked "not claimed by the applicant".
Step 6
If a potential employee does not want to show you a police clearance certificate, and you yourself are not entitled to receive this information, you can find out the information of interest only through personal contacts with law enforcement officers. But even then, not particularly advertising it.
