Tenant Check on Foreign Tenant

We rent out a flat which we used to live in and are considering a tenant who has just moved from abroad (the US). I have checked her employer reference and previous landlord details which are both very positive but want to do a tenant/credit check for piece of mind. The form on the NLA website will not accept non-UK addresses so I cannot complete it. Does anyone know if there is a site which will allow this or any other method of checking details? I want to ensure that I am not stuck with someone fraudulent or with a record or running up debts.
Thanks a lot.
Thanks a lot.

Try these, but other facilities exist so may be worth searching.

I would be very wary. Had a US tennant who left UK after end of tennancy. My agent did not do a proper exit survey, before returning deposit. I found cigarette burn marks on fitted carpets and I had no way of pursuing him. I suppose I could / should have claimed of the agent."A nation's greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members." ~ Mahatma Gandhi
