Comprehensive Background Search

Criminal History

The Criminal Search produces a multi-state report of criminal records, which includes the District of Columbia. Each Criminal Search report may contain felony and misdemeanor records, sex-offender records, inmate records, and arrest information.

Former Last Name

Search, using Former Last Name, performs a criminal search and searches up to four additional former last names.

Nationwide Sex Offender Registry

Our Nationwide Sex Offender Registry search includes sex-offender records provided by each state including the District of Columbia.

Statewide Criminal Reports

Statewide Criminal Comprehensive Reports combine multiple sources of information in a single search. Report information may include, but is not limited to, court-level felony records, court-level misdemeanor records, traffic records, department of corrections data, and information from state sex-offender registries.

Motor Vehicle Report

You need to know who's behind the wheel, especially when transporting goods, services and people. Companies should order driving history reports for all employees who drive company or personal vehicles for business. Our Motor Vehicle Reports (MVRs) provide a comprehensive review of individual driving records, including offenses and citations.  You get timely, comprehensive and reliable reports on your applicant's driving history, including:

• Driver's license information
• Driving history, including deducted DMV points
• Driving restrictions, such as glasses and hearing aids
• Special endorsements, including tank and hazardous materials

Criminal Search for a Single Parish

This report provides criminal records held at the county level. Reports generally include felony and/or misdemeanor records. A single county search is especially valuable when you need to perform a more comprehensive or current database search. The industry standard for a single parish criminal record search is 7 years, although older information may be returned if available from the record source.

Inmate Records

Inmate Records provide information from each state's Department of Corrections. Reports can include information on an individual's probation, parole and give active or inactive status within a state facility. Information in reports will vary depending on the state.

Arrest Records

Arrest Records are available in some states. This information can help determine if you should run a criminal search for a single county. Note: You should not make hiring decisions based solely on arrest records.

Bankruptcies

Bankruptcies are a matter of public record and may appear on an individual's credit report. The Federal Bankruptcy Act prohibits employers from discriminating against applicants because they have filed for bankruptcy.

Liens/Judgments

Search and identify all civil lien and judgment filings for your search subject, job candidate, or potential business partner. This will identify all plaintiffs, defendants and liability amount. This is a vital search for managerial and executive candidates, as well as a contractors, business partners, and vendors. Liens and Judgment searches will shed light on your subject's fiduciary responsibility.

Evictions

This is a deal breaker every time. If a landlord had to forcibly remove a renter from the property, it was probably for non-payment of rent. If the eviction is for another reason, it could be for criminal activity or repeatedly disturbing the peace, offenses often worse than non-payment

National Social Security Verification

By matching the Social Security number to the issued name, this search can reveal all names used by the applicant, the applicant's current address and multiple known addresses over a seven-year history.

Phones/Addresses & Corporate Affiliations

The address search is powered by a database that pulls address information from many sources, including postal address records, financial institutions, utility service providers, and many more. The result is a more comprehensive and up-to-date picture of where the potential tenant is moving from and where they have lived.

Registered Motor Vehicles & Property

One of the most comprehensive searches in terms of personal belongings and financial standings. The Asset and Real Property Search will disclose real-property ownership; vehicles watercraft and airplane title and/or ownership; Bankruptcies, Liens and Judgments; Corporate Affiliations; Address History and UCC Filings.

Professional Affiliations and Licenses

In organizations where certain professions require specialized licenses, we can assist in verifying that an applicant or job candidate not only possesses the professional license, but that the license is in good standing. The professional license and certification verification is performed on a wide variety of state-issued professional licenses for nurses, doctors, lawyers, pharmacists, insurance agents, and many others.  This service confirms validity of a license or certification and can reveal any disciplinary actions taken.  

Property Foreclosures

If you're interested in work that involves money or handling a company's financial records, mortgage foreclosure and/or a bankruptcy filing may make you ineligible.

Uniform Commercial Code Filings (UCC)

When an applicant pledges collateral on a loan, Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) filings tell you whether others have filed a claim against the same collateral. The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) filings searches for records filed with the respective Secretary of State. The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) online records search delivers the: File number; Debtor's name and address; Secured parties' names and addresses; Collateral description (e.g., equipment, real estate, inventory) andAmendments, terminations and continuations.   Commonly used by industries where debt evaluation is needed and to detect claims against the same collateral.

• Medical certificate verification including issue date, class, and any limitations
