In emergencies, or for multi-project CheckUser checks (as in the case of cross-wiki vandalism), stewards may perform local checks. Stewards should remove their own CheckUser access on the projects upon completion of the checks and notify the local CheckUsers or the CheckUser e-mail list. </p><p>If no local CheckUsers exist for a project, requests will need to be made to the stewards to perform checks (such as "is UserX a sockpuppet of UserY").

The candidate must request the CheckUser status within the local community and advertise this request properly (village pump, mailing list when available, special request page, etc.). The candidate must be familiar with the <a href="https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy:Privacy_policy" class="extiw" title="foundation:Policy:Privacy policy">privacy policy</a>. After gaining consensus (at least 70%–80% in pro/con voting or the highest number of votes in multiple choice elections) in the local community, and with at least 25–30 editors' approval, the successful candidate should request access at <a href="/wiki/Steward_requests/Permissions" title="Steward requests/Permissions">Steward requests/Permissions</a> with a link to the page with the community's decision.
