This report is typically finalized within the same day or by the morning of the next business day. When employing this search for purposes of employment or leasing, adherence to FCRA guidelines is mandatory. These guidelines stipulate the necessity of corroborating any criminal records identified through database searches with a criminal search at the county court level to ensure the accuracy and currency of the criminal offense case status. It is pertinent to note that criminal charges may be sealed, expunged, or reduced from the original charges filed by the prosecutor.

Our commitment to providing a thorough and current criminal database search may result in instances where the same case appears multiple times within our report. This is a consequence of compiling criminal data from both state entities (such as the Department of Corrections, Administrative Office of the Courts, Department of Public Safety, etc.) and individual county court records. It is essential to carefully examine the case number and the date of filing. Moreover, it is important to be aware that certain jurisdictions may initially record a case at a lower court level before transferring it to higher courts for final resolution, with Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Virginia being notable examples.

Recommendation: For comprehensive follow-up on this report with additional criminal searches, including those at county courts, federal USDC courts, and through premium state real-time criminal search services, it is advisable to utilize aliases and former names identified from the address history trace report.

+ Many more 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.
