Any named person appearing on CIFAS list of fraud cases will be extremely high risk. |
Searches for County Court Judgements and BAI’s (Bankruptcies, Administrative Orders, Insolvencies). |
People appearing on any of these lists are proven to be higher risks in relation to possible identity fraud. |

This identifies terrorists, people who have been entrusted with a prominent public function (or a close relative or known associate of that person), and individuals, groups, and entities, such as terrorists and narcotics traffickers designated under programs that are not country-specific. People identified as being on any of these lists are deemed to be high risk. |
