CRIMINAL SEARCH INFORMATION

National Criminal Database Search

The National Criminal Database Search is a powerful, multi-jurisdictional search consisting of millions of records from multiple sources across the country, including but not limited to: state and county court records, Department of Corrections (DOC), Administration of the Court (AOC), state sex offender registries and our Global Report database which includes Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), Office of the Inspector General (OIG),General Services Administration (GSA), System for Award Management (SAM) and many other sources. This search allows employers to cast a wider net and potentially locate additional criminal records that would otherwise be left unfound.

To ensure FCRA compliance, all records located will automatically initiate a direct source search within the jurisdiction of origin to validate the record and ensure the most accurate information is reported.

Best practice dictates conducting a National Criminal Database Search in addition to the 7-year county criminal record search.

Social Security Number Trace

Where the background screening process begins! The Social Security Number Trace is an integral investigative step as it allows insight into where a candidate has been and where the primary focus should be.

Composed of data from the three credit bureaus and thousands of other public sources, the Social Security Number Trace Report reveals an address history and uncovers alias names. The addresses and names identified should be used to determine the jurisdictions across the country and names under which to search for court records.

As an additional barrier to identity theft of a deceased person, data is cross checked through the Social Security Death Index.
