WHAT YOU GET

A check result you can base a decision on

  • A documented result, with feedback on deviations

    After the check you receive a compiled result with the documents reviewed and the person’s status. Deviations are reported back, so you know what needs handling before you decide.

  • Validity for every person

    You see how long work permits and documents remain valid, and when the next action needs planning.

  • Keep track of time-limited permits

    For people with time-limited permits, information is retrieved from the Swedish Migration Agency on an ongoing basis. Pending cases at the Migration Agency are monitored continuously. Automatic reminders are sent ahead of expiry dates and when a status changes.

WHAT SISTEC CHECKS

The checks behind the result

  • Physical identity check

    The person meets a trained operator, who compares the person with the ID document. You know the right person stands behind the documents.

  • Review of ID documents and permits

    Trained operators examine the documents visually and check their security features electronically, among other things to detect signs of tampering.

  • Verification with the Swedish Migration Agency

    Where needed, the person’s status is verified with the Migration Agency. The written reply is documented, so you can show what the decision was based on.

  • Notifications when required

    For third-country nationals and asylum seekers, notifications to the Swedish Tax Agency and the Migration Agency are generated and can be downloaded for signing and submission to the authorities.

Can be added

  • A background check as an add-on, for example a review of a presented criminal record extract. Read about background checks
  • A driving licence check with verification at the Swedish Transport Agency, as part of the background check.
  • Ordering and reporting back in your recruitment system. Sistec is integrated with Jobylon among others, and an API or webhook can be used. The connection is agreed per customer.
HOW IT WORKS

How it works

Digital ordering, reporting and follow-up – with a physical identity check.

    You order in the portal or from your recruitment system. The person receives a personal link and books a time at a service centre.

  2. Sistec carries out the check

    A trained operator checks identity and documents at a physical meeting and verifies with the Migration Agency where needed.

  3. Receive the result and follow-up

    You receive the check result and follow validity and reminders in the portal.

Read more about each step

The order portal
STEP 1

The order portal

The employer orders the check by entering the candidate's name, contact details, and type of check via the Compliance Platform.

The check can be conducted at a physical meeting at one of our service centers or digitally remote – depending on what was selected at the time of ordering. Criminal record extracts are always examined at a physical meeting.

The booking portal
STEP 2

The booking portal

The candidate receives a personal link and books their own time and location for the check at any service center across Sweden.

The booking flow uses email reminders and supports cancellation and rescheduling. The client needs to follow up when a person has not yet attended the check.

The Right to Work check
STEP 3

The Right to Work check

At the check appointment, the individual meets one of our trained operators who verifies the authenticity of the ID documents and papers brought.

The check includes visual examination and electronic examination of document security features. The operator compares the person with the identity document and examines right-to-work evidence within the assignment’s scope.

Authority contact
STEP 4

Authority contact

When needed, the Migration Agency is contacted to verify the individual's status. A written response is documented and stored as part of the control chain.

This gives the employer full traceability and assurance that the right decision was made based on current authority information.

Notifications
STEP 5

Notifications

Notifications to the Swedish Tax Agency and Migration Agency for third-country nationals and asylum seekers are generated automatically when needed.

The correct forms are filled in and uploaded together with the report. Through automated storage, reports are preserved over time according to applicable regulations.

Right to Work report
STEP 6

Right to Work report

After the check is completed, we compile a report with information about the individual, reviewed documents, and any deviations. The candidate's status is marked green or red.

The report describes documents examined and any discrepancies. Access and delivery follow the ordered arrangement. Confirm authorized recipients, access terms and retention before ordering.

Follow-up
STEP 7

Follow-up

Automated follow-up for persons with time-limited permits through continuous information retrieval from the Migration Agency.

Reminders are sent at expiry dates and when status changes occur with authorities. The employer receives ongoing status updates.
