Records are compiled from over
232 million criminal records - including court indices, sex offender
registries-state repositories-Federal denied persons list-OFAC advisories and
departments of corrections records - covering 44 states.
This service generally should not
be used as a substitute for county-level criminal searches. Rather, it offers
an additional level of due diligence by expanding the geography of a criminal
search beyond a current county or seven year county search program.
Scope of Search:
The Multi-State Criminal Database Search is a compilation of an
industry-leading 275 sources. Please note, this search does not include every
court jurisdiction in every state. However, many times criminal records are
revealed in states where the applicant gave no indication of his prior
residence.
Turn-around Time:
The Multi-State Criminal Database Search is conducted instantly.
Please note that to maintain compliance with the FCRA, any negative
information ("hits") that are returned are confirmed with the original
jurisdiction.
Search Result: In the event that a criminal conviction or "hit" is
found, the report will contain the case number, full case name, date of birth,
file date, disposition date and number of years searched for each criminal
case that is found. We will also detail the method(s) used to match the
applicant to the defendant, such as Name and Date of Birth; Name, Date of
Birth and SSN; or Name Only. Finally, we will provide details for each charge
included in the case, including description of each count, disposition, type
of crime, any fines assessed by the court, any court fees assessed, and
probation or prison time ordered. Additional information available will also
be provided to you. You may need to run a county criminal background check for
greater detail.
