Please Read: Our database search covers a wide range of records, not only including criminal charges like felonies and misdemeanors but also traffic infractions and municipal ordinances, which do not fall under criminal offenses. It is crucial to assess each case on its own merits.

• Due to the variation in reporting across statewide repositories, our comprehensive nationwide criminal database incorporates numerous county-specific sources to ensure broad coverage. Consequently, you might notice the same offense listed twice—once from a state source and another time from a county source. This redundancy helps us provide the most thorough background screening available. It’s also possible for cases to be initially recorded in lower courts (such as Circuit or Magisterial courts) and later transferred to higher courts (like General District, Common Pleas, or Superior Court), often under a new case number
• It’s important to know that searches in our criminal database are conducted by matching the subject’s first and last name with their exact date of birth (DOB). To avoid inaccurate results, please ensure the name spelling and DOB are exactly as they appear on the subject’s driver’s license. Should the search subject have any previous names or aliases, including those in your search is highly recommended.

Regarding the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA): Please be aware that findings from a nationwide criminal database search may not reflect current record status, as cases may have been sealed or expunged after the case was closed. Such records should not be used for employment decisions. In line with FCRA guidelines, verification through county court records or a real-time statewide criminal search is necessary to confirm the most up-to-date status of any case. Please note that our criminal database searches might not cover all types of criminal records in every state.
