South Africa Credit Check Candidate Guidance on Zinc Submission
## How to submit your credit check in South Africa
### Step 1: Log in or create your Zinc account
Once your employer requests a credit check, you’ll need to log in to your Zinc account. If you don’t already have an account, you must create one. Once logged in, confirm the following details:
- Your full name (including name history if applicable)
- Your date of birth
- Your country of residence: South Africa
- Address history for the past 5 years
- Your consent
### Step 2: Provide your personal information
You will need to supply the following details to initiate the check:
- First Name
- Last Name
- Birth Date
- Consent
- **Government ID Number**
- Your South African PIN number or if not available your Passport number
- **Job Description Disclaimer**
- South African credit checks are not permissible for employment purposes unless the position of employment requires honesty in handling money or finance-related positions. Please answer **Yes** to this question if your role applies. If your role does not apply, please answer this as **No** and the check will be cancelled after your submission on Zinc as it cannot be processed.
### Step 3: Submit the check on Zinc
Once all your information is provided, the check will be processed by our checking partner.
If something else is required or there is a discrepancy, our Customer Support team here at Zinc will contact you directly to get your application corrected or gather further information from you.
### Step 4: Receive the results of your check
Upon completion of your credit check, you will receive a notification to say the process is completed and the results will be available on your profile to view.
