Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks a million. I need to emphasize that the criminal record check (investigation) shall be conducted on the identity information below provided by the requester.

Asker: But they're not questions. They are actually identity information of the individual who has requested the criminal record. The Criminal Records Bureau conducts a check / investigation according to that ID info.
