As for non-public security personnel, they have no right to consult other people's criminal punishment records; You don't need to inquire about your criminal punishment record (the public security organ doesn't accept this inquiry). Have you ever committed a crime and received criminal punishment, can you still not know? This is ridiculous.
If it is an employer, it is very simple to identify whether the applicant has a criminal record. Let the applicant go to the police station where the household registration is located to apply for a "certificate of no criminal record". If the applicant has committed a crime and has a criminal punishment record, this certificate will not be issued.
Criminal punishment records, that is, criminal records, will affect at least three generations, and children and grandchildren will be affected. Of course, this mainly refers to immediate family members. The main family members and social relations mainly include parents, spouses and grandparents, but do not include collateral relatives such as brothers and sisters, uncles, aunts, uncles and in-laws.
In addition, if you are under the age of 18 and have committed a crime with a criminal punishment of less than five years, you should seal up your criminal record and generally issue a certificate of no criminal record to protect minors.
Legal basis: Article 286 of the Criminal Procedure Law states that if a person was under the age of 18 at the time of committing a crime and was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years, the relevant criminal records shall be sealed. If the criminal record is sealed, it shall not be provided to any unit or individual, except for the need of judicial organs to handle cases or the relevant units to make inquiries in accordance with state regulations. Units that inquire according to law shall keep the sealed criminal records confidential.
