Important Notice

Please take note of the following content change to be applied to the Data-File on 19 December, 2008. In order to avoid any potential problems please ensure that your database administrators, IT engineers and developers are made fully aware of this notice so that your filtering applications, data handling systems and any database processes are updated early and appropriately to accommodate the following change:

World-Check will introduce 3 additional characters to the E/I column of the data files. The E/I field will now comprise of the following character set: I U M F E

I     =    Individual – Gender Unknown – Profile not reviewed since introduction of new character set
U    =    Unknown – Gender Unknown – Profile reviewed since introduction of new character set
M    =    Male – Individual – Gender Known – Positive ID
F     =    Female – Individual – Gender Known – Positive ID
E     =    Entity – No change to context

When a profile previously designated as an Individual (I) is reviewed and is found to be of an unknown nature, it will be re-assigned as Unknown (U). This implies that over time the Individual (I) category will disappear and be replaced by Unknown (U).

If you have any questions, comments or concerns please direct these through your World-Check representative or contact our Customer Services department using the following address:
