A self-background check in Africa is the process of an individual conducting a review of their own personal and criminal history in Africa to gain insight into the information that might be available to employers, landlords, or other entities during a formal background check.

“I certify that I have given true, accurate and complete information on my application for employment or admission” should actually mean the submission of verified credentials as supporting documents for your applications but more often than not, it is just a checkbox without evidence.
