Social Security Trace (Identity Verifications)
We search against 70 million Social Security Administration records to verify if a Social Security Number is authentic and the year and state in which it was issued. This also allows us to confirm the applicant's maiden & alias names as well as current and former residential addresses.
Nationwide Criminal Records Search
Provides criminal court records search for all convictions & arrests through various databases and repositories, including state & national sex offender registries.
Criminal Court Records
Provides criminal court records search for all convictions to date and the previous seven (7) years of criminal activity or arrests. Our researchers physically search court records, comparing personal identifiers to accurately report criminal history. Case details for felony, misdemeanor, ordinance violation, and DUI records within the current and past counties where the applicant has resided. Because most crimes are committed in the county where the offender has lived and/or worked, a county criminal record search is essential to any criminal record background check and is recommended for all applicants as part of the pre-employment screening process. We have access to all 3,144 U.S. counties and county equivalents. Our reports include a case number, date of offense, filing date, charge(s), type of charge and outcome. These types of searches take the longest amount of time because of the verification of case details. Approximately 24-72 hours.
Federal District Criminal Courts
Provides arrest and conviction information prosecuted by the U.S. District Courts.
Driving Records
This search reveals an individual’s driving record with the state's Department of Motor Vehicles. Hiring a poor driver opens your organization up to increased liability and can raise your insurance premiums. As a result, motor vehicle record checks are being requested more often by insurance companies before employees are permitted to operate company vehicles. Information supplied varies by state, but typically includes driving history, license type, infractions, and driving restrictions.
FMCSA Searches - Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse
The FMCSA Clearinghouse is a secure online database that gives employers, the FMCSA, State Driving Licensing Agencies, and State law enforcement personnel real-time information about CDL driver drug and alcohol program violations, therby enhancing safety on our Nation's roadways. These Clearinghouse checks are required to be ran on all CDL license holders at the time of hire, annually, and any time an incident occurs.
