SSN TRACE

A social trace reveals the name(s), DOB and addresses associated with a submitted SSN. This product also indicates if the SSN appears on the SSA's death index registry. While the contents of an SSN trace do not appear in a report, we use this information as a pointer file to begin the first layer of a background investigation.

NATIONWIDE CRIMINAL/SEX OFFENDER SEARCH

Our system scours national, state, and county level repositories to determine if an applicant has ever been charged with a felony, misdemeanor or major traffic citation. Includes sex offender registry searches and civil records, such as protective orders. Screen once upon hiring or regularly with ongoing monitoring to keep law-breakers from infecting your company culture.

COUNTY CRIMINAL SEARCH

In-depth misdemeanor and felony search/most accurate up to the minute data directly from county courthouse records. A name, date of birth and, where available, identity based education verification for institutions located outside of the United States. Includes all available records for that institution's system.

STATE CRIMINAL SEARCH

Misdemeanor and felony search reported by state agency, police or bureau of investigation. A name, date of birth and, where available, identity based criminal record search for a selected state's bureau of investigation records. Includes all available, reportable records including felonies, misdemeanors and serious traffic violations.

FEDERAL CRIMINAL SEARCH

This search is essential to discovering convictions of federal crimes. These records are not filed at county or state courts. Because federal criminal records have limited identifiers on file, a name search is first conducted, and then more in-depth review of court files is necessary to obtain additional identifiers.
