Services

National Social Security Verification

Provides up-to-date information on an applicants name and social security number (SSN). The applicant’s name is matched against the social security number provided, eliminating the possibility of false names and /or information. The national social security verification is an investigative starting point that provides a more complete background search when combined with additional screening services.

Address Trace

This search reveals the applicant’s current address and previous addresses. Addresses obtained can be used in expanding an applicant’s criminal history search.

County Courthouse Search

This is an in-person search of felony including misdemeanor records at the primary court location (superior, circuit, county, common pleas). Reports may contain both felony and misdemeanor information if both offenses are stored and maintained in the same index file. When felony and misdemeanor records are stored in separate index files, only felony records are retrieved.

Statewide Criminal Search

A statewide repository search is an effective means of gathering criminal record information and provides the benefit of searching all counties within a given state vs. a single county search.

While the processing of a State wide search (versus a County Courthouse search) offers greater geographic coverage area, it must be recognized that State Central Repositories receive their criminal record information and updates from local law enforcement agencies, and the courts within that state. The integrity and/or completeness of their data may be compromised by the fact that the procedures by which the records are supposed to be forwarded to the state central repositories may be affected by manpower shortages, lengthy transmission delays, local privacy statutes, and the lack of enforcement authority.

“Smart Check”

A statewide or countywide (depending on the jurisdiction) criminal record check is performed to capture all misdemeanor and felony arrests and/or convictions of any applicant. Utilizing the “Smart Check” the search is conducted in the jurisdiction with the longest and most current residency.
