How to Submit a CV for a CV Check

Once you’ve enabled CV checks on a particular package, you can now request a check with CV checks. You can find out how to request a check using our guide [here](https://help.zincwork.com/hc/hm54ky7yrc/article/b1feb366-how-to-make-a-new-request-within-zinc-and-resend-candidate-links). After you have entered a candidate’s name and email address for the request and added any optional information, you will be prompted to add in your candidate’s CV/resume. 📌 You can only add a CV in this stage, **it cannot be uploaded once the request has been sent.** ![how-to-submit-a-cv-for-a-cv-check-1](https://storage.googleapis.com/public-fini-assets/zincwork_hc_images/how-to-submit-a-cv-for-a-cv-check-1.png) --- For the CV upload, we can only accept PDFs. Scanned documents that have been converted to a PDF document can also be used if it is less than 4 pages but we would recommend a genuine PDF document for the most successful uploads. ![how-to-submit-a-cv-for-a-cv-check-2](https://storage.googleapis.com/public-fini-assets/zincwork_hc_images/how-to-submit-a-cv-for-a-cv-check-2.png) Once you have your CV file, double check that you’ve uploaded the right CV and click **Request checks.** Congrats!
