Thorough But Efficient  Criminal Searches

Our database draws from more than 750 million records. It covers 98% of the U.S. population through access to 6,000+ individual criminal data sources, including county courts, state repositories, Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) systems, Departments of Corrections (DOC), and Sex Offender Registries (SOR). Additionally, we reference federal criminal sources and government watchlists to deliver the insight you need to reduce hiring risk and maintain compliance.

Past Address and Alias History

Uncover an applicant’s historical address data and known aliases. This enables jurisdictional targeting by identifying counties and states where the candidate has lived, worked, or studied, ensuring coverage of all relevant locations in subsequent criminal and verification searches.
Comprehensive Criminal Record Search

Access more than 750 million records from 6,000 criminal data sources, including county courthouses, state criminal repositories, the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC), Departments of Corrections (DOC), and Sex Offender Registries (SOR). Coverage also includes federal court records and real-time integrations with watchlist databases. Each search is FCRA-compliant and includes options for seven years. Other search options regarding years searched are available.
Sex Offender Registry (SOR) Search

Query 50-state sex offender registries—including public and tribal sources—for current registration status, conviction details, offender tier level (if available), known aliases, and compliance violations. Registration start and end date verification, last known address, and jurisdictional updates.
Government Watch and Sanctions
County Criminal Search

Conduct direct searches at county courthouses across the U.S., where most criminal records originate. Based on client needs, our team of court researchers and automated court access tools retrieves available felony and misdemeanor convictions, pending cases, warrants, and arrest records from the past seven years or longer.
Statewide Criminal Search

Access centralized state repositories maintained by law enforcement or court administrative bodies. These searches include convictions and pending cases reported by participating counties. Scope includes standard 7-year searches for felony and misdemeanor records, with additional jurisdictional and time frame customizations available.

Uncover offenses prosecuted at the federal level through direct access to U.S. District Court records via the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system. This search reveals crimes such as white-collar fraud, drug trafficking, immigration violations, and interstate criminal activity. Each search includes a standard 7-year conviction history, with extended lookback periods available for regulated industries or positions of trust.
Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) Search

Review an applicant’s driving history as maintained by state Departments of Motor Vehicles (DMVs). Results may include license status, endorsements, DUIs, traffic infractions, suspensions, and vehicular crime convictions. Lookback periods typically range from 3 to 7 years, depending on state law and position requirements.
