How does the Afiswitch process work?
|
|
|
A service provider is registered on Afiswitch and is
supplied with a workstation. This setup is used to register applicants for which
the Afiswitch background check is to be performed
|
|
|
The authorised service provider signs on to an
Afiswitch workstation by entering a user ID and presenting a matching finger
|
|
|
Ten fingerprints and demographic data of an applicant
are then captured on-line or off-line using an Afiswitch workstation and
Livescan fingerprint reader
|
|
|
The workstation uploads data to Afiswitch via a
secure internet connection
|
|
|
Afiswitch transmits the electronic fingerprints
directly to the SAPS AFIS sub-system for identification purposes
|
|
|
On completion of a fingerprint search, the SAPS AFIS
returns a Hit or No-hit result to Afiswitch
|
|
|
Afiswitch in turn returns a
Possible illicit
activity identified
or No illicit activity identified report to
the service provider
|
|
|
In the case of a No illicit activity identified
report, the service provider can provide the applicant with the report
immediately
|
|
|
In the case of a
Possible illicit activity
identified
report, the SAPS will further process the search and supply the
required details regarding the Illicit activity identified result
|
|
|
In the event that any applicant disputes the validity
of results, SAPS has established procedures and policies to resolve such
disputes
