How is connection to other countries checked?

The “Connection to other countries” check is used to identify whether a candidate has ties to other countries through citizenship, residency, employment, family, or financial interests. This gives the client a broader foundation for assessing the candidate’s background, particularly for roles where additional security or integrity evaluations are required.

Why is this check performed?

The purpose is to:

• Identify connections relevant to security, integrity, or impartiality assessments
• Supplement other information in the background check
• Provide a comprehensive overview of the candidate’s international ties

This check is especially relevant for roles with high responsibility, security requirements, or where it may be important to understand whether the candidate has obligations or relationships outside of Norway.

How is the information collected?

The candidate completes a form in the Manymore portal, where they provide relevant details about their ties to other countries. This may include citizenships, previous residencies, family relations, property ownership, or financial interests.

If anything is unclear or further documentation is needed, we follow up directly with the candidate.

All collected information is handled with strict confidentiality.

What is reported?

The results of the check appear in the final report to the employer and include:

• An overview of reported connections to other countries
• Relevant categories (e.g. residency, ownership, or family)

We do not assess what the connections mean. It is up to the client to decide how the information should be weighted.
