### Bankruptcy Check

**Bankruptcy Check**

**Identifier:** `BANKRUPTCY_RECORD_CHECK_1`

A bankruptcy check identifies whether an individual has ever been declared bankrupt or is currently involved in bankruptcy proceedings. The search queries national and international bankruptcy and insolvency registries, court databases, and/or financial regulatory sources to locate any personal bankruptcy records. Using the individual's name, date of birth, and address history, the check confirms whether any bankruptcy-related filings are associated with the individual across multiple jurisdictions.

**Ordering methods:** Invite

**Note:** This check is ordered via invite or through a parent check. Applicant data is collected via the invite form and is not sent in the API request body.
