At times, only because two names are identical, the applicants name may be wrongly associated with a criminal record which is termed as Identity Theft. This issue could be dealt with as quickly as possible. Also it is very easy for the candidate to cross check the personal details such as date of birth, educational information, employment details and driving history.
