Background Checks for Corporations and Consumers

• County Criminal searches are conducted by sending a court runner to the court house to pull records from the county clerks office. County courts are generally the most up to date records available. Typical turnaround time is 2 days for clear records.
• Statewide criminal searches are conducted by searching state-based criminal records indexes. Statewide records may or may not contain the outcome of an arrest. Statewide records can be as much as 90 days old or greater.
• Federal records searches are conducted by searching federal-based records indexes. Federal records may contain limited case information. Federal records can be 90 days old or greater.
• National criminal records are conducted by searching a large records index. National criminal records searches do not include every jurisdiction and may be limited in case information.

We ask the following questions on employment verifications:

The information that is returned depends on the willingness of the former employer to provide information. When necessary, we send a signed authorization to the former employer in order to acquire the necessary information. This may require your staff to fax an authorization form to us at times. All employment verifications are done by calling the employer directly, except in situations where the employer has outsourced verifications to an automated system.

All requests are handled on a workflow basis.
