## What is covered in the criminal check?
The Court Search Mauritius provides criminal litigation information on individual citizens and foreigners, extracted through the data from all courts and tribunals in the jurisdiction, which handle criminal cases (including their criminal divisions), with the prevalence of cases heard before the Supreme Court of Mauritius. The information goes back to 7 years.
Please note that this is a nationwide search and is not restricted to a specific locality.
The address is required not for conducting the search itself, but rather as an additional identifier—used only when a second identifier is not available. In cases where search results, such as judgments, orders, or decrees, include the applicant’s address, this information supports accurate matching and verification of the retrieved records.
## Restrictions, exclusions, and limitations:
- Due to privacy laws, there might be restrictions in accessing case information that the parties to the case have explicitly prohibited the public disclosure of.
- Please note that we only provide audit trails as evidence for this service. Exceptionally, if you need evidence for "Records Found" we can share the snippet or judgment with an additional cost.
