Personal Background Checks From $25. Know Who You Are Trusting.
A new business partner, contractor, or roommate asks for your trust. Therefore, our personal background check searches criminal, civil, property, and business records before you commit. A U.S.-based analyst reviews every report, and the subject never learns you searched.
Additionally, you can order your own background check before a job interview. As a result, you catch mistaken identities and outdated records before an employer does.

Who Can You Check with a Personal Background Check?
In a perfect world, everyone would be as good as their word. In reality, public records tell you what people leave out. Consequently, our customers check the following people most often.
Business Partners and Investors
Bankruptcies, liens, judgments, and corporate affiliations reveal financial history. Therefore, the USA Profile fits due diligence before you sign a partnership or investment agreement.
Contractors and Home Service Providers
A contractor enters your home and handles your deposit. Accordingly, check criminal records, civil judgments, and business entities before work begins.
Roommates and Personal Relationships
Someone new is about to share your address or your life. However, a $25 criminal and sex offender search gives you facts instead of assumptions.
Important: Personal background checks are not FCRA consumer reports. Therefore, you cannot use them for employment, tenant, credit, or insurance decisions. Employers and landlords should order our FCRA Employment Screening or Tenant Screening instead.
Why Individuals Choose USAbackground.com

Confidential and Anonymous
The USA Profile relies on public records. Therefore, the subject never receives a notice and never learns you ordered a report.

No Offshoring of PII
All personal data stays inside U.S. borders. Additionally, PCI DSS-compliant payments and SSL encryption protect every order.

Legal Limits on Personal Background Checks
Personal background checks are not consumer reports under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Therefore, you cannot use them to hire, rent to, insure, or extend credit to anyone. Those decisions require an FCRA-compliant report with the subject’s written consent.
You can use a personal report for your own due diligence. For example, vet a business partner, a contractor, a roommate, or a new relationship. Additionally, you can check your own record before you apply for a job.
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) restricts access to Social Security numbers and financial data. Consequently, the USA Profile works from name, date of birth, and address. An SSN is helpful but never required.
Database records can include civil infractions and cases later sealed or dismissed. As a result, review each case carefully before you draw conclusions. We provide compliance tools, not legal advice. However, our support team can point you to the right resources.
