European Criminal Records Information System (ECRIS)

Awaiting translation - 29/11/18

Background

National courts often pass sentences on the basis of past convictions an offender has in their national register. They do not take into account convictions in other EU countries. As a result, offenders could escape conviction by moving to another country.

Connecting national criminal databases

The European Criminal Records Information System (ECRIS) was established in 2012 in order to improve the exchange of criminal records throughout the EU. All EU countries are currently connected to ECRIS.

Within the ECRIS Framework each EU state is responsible for establishing a Central Authority for Criminal Records within their state. The National Vetting Bureau has been designated as the Central Authority for Ireland. Currently the NVB conducts the hereunder four actions within this framework:

  • Make requests to the Central Authorities in other Member States for extracts from their National Criminal Record in respect of Nationals of the Member State concerned in instances where the information is required in connection with criminal proceedings in the requesting State.
  • Respond to requests from the Central Authorities in other Member States for extracts from the National Criminal Record in respect of Nationals of the requested Member State, in instances where the information is required in connection with criminal proceedings in the requesting Member State.
  • Receive, store, and update where necessary, the National Criminal Record, information received from Central Authorities in other Member States in respect of Nationals of the receiving State convicted in those other Member States.
  • Transmit information, and any necessary updates, in respect of criminal convictions imposed in the transmitting State on all Nationals of other EU Member States to the Central Authority of the Member State of the convicted person.
