European Criminal Records Information System (ECRIS)

The European Criminal Records Information System (ECRIS) is a digital platform that allows EU countries to share information about individuals with criminal convictions. It helps authorities access and exchange accurate, up-to-date criminal record data across member states, enhancing cooperation and ensuring proper enforcement of justice and security measures. ECRIS aims to improve the efficiency of criminal background checks for legal, employment, and travel purposes within the European Union. It promotes trust, consistency, and transparency in handling criminal record information across borders.
