VERIFICATIONS
Employment Verification
This search will yield accurate information on the character of a subject as well as employment
history/performance, employment dates, salary, title and eligibility for rehire.
Professional License Verification
Verify professional
license, professional standing and certifications. Our staff performs the legwork to contact licensing agencies and verify information
that your applicant provides.
Education Verification
Level of education is among the most basic concerns when making a hiring
decision or considering an individual for possible promotion. Education is also one of the two considerations, along with related
experience, most commonly used to determine the approprirate
starting salary. Failure to verify education can easily lead to inflated
salaries, poor performance and/or high turnover due to lack of qualifications for the position.
Personal Reference Verification
Verify
your subject's character through our personal reference verification as determined by the people who have known and worked with
him
or her.
INSTANT SEARCHES
Instant Criminal Report
Instant Statewide Criminal and Department of Corections Data provides instantaneous
real-time access to the largest criminal database online with over 140 million records from 47 states. This data covers the 47 states
where more than 60 percent of the nation's population lives.
NOTE: Database searches are instant but tend to be less thorough
or accurate as a county search and therefore should only be used for preliminary decisions about a subject. Database searches provide
inexpensive, instant, statewide and DOC criminal database information.
Instant Credit History
When you need credit information
right now, this is the search. A credit profile can indicate the applicant's sense of responsibility. Willful disregrad for financial
commitments often indicates character flaws that should preclude access to sensitive information. We use information from major credit
bureaus in this search.
Sex Offenders Search
A sex offender is typically an individual who has been convicted of a violent sexual
crime such as rape, child molestation or incest. This report typically includes identifiers, registered address, aliases, case numbers,
charge(s), conviction details, and period of incarceration.
Instant Past Address Trace
This is the solution when you want to
find out where a subject has previously resided, a fundamental key to a person's identity and truth about their occupation history.
We use information from major credit bureaus in this search.
Instant Motor Vehicle Reports
Covering 39 States, we can provide
you instant results to your subject's driving record query. It will include information concerning DUIs, suspended or revoked licenses,
accidents and minor traffic violations.
These reports are a must for OTR and heavy equipment operators, but they provide additional
information about any subject that might not be uncovered in a traditional search. These searches cover from three to seven years
of history, depending on the licensing agency. Now online: AL, AZ, AR, CA, CO, FL, GA, ID, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, ME, MI, MN,MS,MO, MT,

COUNTY SEARCHES
County Civil Record Search
Whenever an individual or corporation files suit against another individual or corporation,
we can let you know about it, including divorce cases, civil rights violations, product liability lawsuits, judgments of any type,
non-payment for goods or services and more. We can locate cases like these in federal, state or county courts. Records are normally
searched for the past seven years unless you specify otherwise. Since access fees differ from one area to another, see the
FAQ question
regarding extra fees, which may apply to civil record searches.
County Criminal Record Search
These highly effective searches
are done on site in county courthouses around the nation. County Searches are performed where the records actually originate, therefore
the information is the most current available on the market. Our professional researchers are highly skilled to not only retrieve
records from these original repositories, but also to uncover other possible records with similar criteria that could be missed by
some other company's untrained courier.
STATE SEARCHES
A search of the State repository will yield records submitted
by courts from each county and other criminal justice agencies. Results may show the disposition date, county, defendant name, DOB,
race, sex, charge(s) and sentence. Not all states have a statewide search available.
FEDERAL SEARCHES
Federal Civil
Search
These searches contain critical information you need for subject evaluation and are investigated daily for the latest information.
Federal civil records are found in US District Courts and involve cases concerning interstate commerce, civil rights violations, crimes
involving or against
the federal government and financial institutions.
Federal Criminal Records Search
Federal violations will
not show up in state or country criminal checks. These offenses can involve felonies such as kidnapping, interstate transportation
of stolen goods, drag trafficking, bank robbery and embezzlement.
Bankruptcies
Bankruptcy searches may yield case or file number;
date filed, type of bankruptcy, discharge date and names of petitioners.
OTHER SEARCHES
National Wants and Warrants
This
nationwide search of local, county, state and federal extraditable warrants which may include misdemeanors and felonies under the
auspices of a government agency. While all law enforcement agencies contribute to the database, reporting is the sole responsibility
of
the state and agency in charge of the pending warrant. We therefore cannot be responsible for the quality of the information yielded
from such a search.
Motor Vehicle Reports
If you need a subject's driving record, we can provide you with information concerning DUIs,
suspended or revoked licenses, accidents and minor traffic violations. These reports are a must for OTR and heavy equipment operators,
but they provide additional information about any subject that might not be uncovered in a traditional search. These searches cover
from three to seven years of history, depending on the licensing agency.
Business Credit Report
Business credit reports normally include company name, address, phone number, company history, financial services
history, payment behavior, legal filings, and payment trends.
Corporate Records
We query the Secretaries of State for Corporation
type, status, incorporation date, filing state, purpose, names & addresses of officers and registered agent, stock information
and history information. We deliver
a report to you usually within three hours of CST.
