Available Screening Services
Criminal Record Searches
Available options may include multi-jurisdictional database searches and state or county-level criminal record searches. The appropriate scope depends on the applicant’s address history and the organization’s screening policy.
Motor Vehicle Records
Motor vehicle record searches may report license status and available driving-history information from the applicable state. Record availability, reporting periods and state fees vary.
Employment Verification
Verification services may confirm information such as dates of employment and position details when the former employer or authorized source makes that information available.
Education Verification
Education searches may verify attendance, degree or credential information with the institution or an authorized verification source. School response times and additional fees may vary.
Social Security and Address History
A Social Security number trace can help identify names and addresses associated with the number in available records. It is a research tool and is not, by itself, proof of identity or a criminal-record search.
Additional Searches
Depending on the permissible purpose, options may include sex-offender registry searches, sanctions or watch-list searches, eviction records and credit reports. Availability and authorization requirements vary.
Why Search Scope Matters
No single database contains every criminal record from every jurisdiction. A broader database search can help identify possible records, while state or county courthouse searches may be recommended to confirm information or provide more complete coverage.
How the Process Works
Define the Need
Tell us the position, program or purpose so we can help identify the appropriate searches.
Obtain Authorization
The organization obtains the applicant’s required disclosure, consent and identifying information.
Search and Report
Searches are completed through the applicable sources and results are delivered according to the service ordered.
Turnaround Time
Some database searches may return quickly, while courthouse, school or employer verifications can take longer. Timing depends on the source, jurisdiction and whether additional research is required.
Consent and Compliance
Background screening must be ordered for a permissible purpose and with the required authorization. Employers are responsible for following applicable federal, state and local requirements, including any required adverse-action process.
