In accordance with a decree by Kh.Temuujin, the Minister for Justice a criminal record check is no longer automatically required. The Minister believes that the requirement to have a criminal record check is a kind of violation of human rights.

A criminal record check is usually required whenever a citizen applies for a job or a visa or a loan from a bank.

If a citizen has a criminal background, even petty crimes such as having a car accident, or has been arrested it is impossible to get a job.

According to a study the Police Department issues a criminal record check to 800 people a day. Almost 70.0 percent of these are for job applications, 25 percent for visa and other personnel reason.

Therefore the Minister for Justice sent the order to stop the requirement to have a  criminal record check in order to avoid discrimination in society for the people who have completed the punishment for their wrongdoing already.

According to the new change a citizen themselves will no longer ask for a criminal record check from the Police Department. A company or entity can require a criminal record check if it is necessary.
