Canyon Risk Solutions is a registered reseller of the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFISwitch). This is a Criminal Illicit Activity Check and the only criminal verification check available to the South African corporate market since the discontinuation of the SAPS Name Clearance Criminal Check in mid-2011. The AFISwitch Criminal Illicit Activity Check requires a candidate’s fingerpr
ints in order to conduct the verification against the Automated Fingerprint Identification System. The fingerprints can be obtained by capturing the ten fingerprints of a potential candidate electronically using a SAGEM MSO300 scanner. The fingerprint package is then submitted online for verification to AFISwitch and the data is checked against the SAPS criminal database. In order to capture the fingerprints, a representative would need to be trained as a biometric officer and would need to purchase/rent a scanner from an accredited reseller of AFISwitch. Canyon Risk Solutions in coordination with Canyon Vetting and Screening Pty Ltd is an accredited reseller of AFISwitch; and of the MSO300 scanners, required for conducting AFISwitch Criminal Illicit Activity Checks.
