Personal Background Check Sample Report
This page shows exactly what our USA Profile personal background check returns. Therefore, you can review every section before you order.
The USA Profile searches public records only. Consequently, the subject never signs a consent form and never learns you searched. This report cannot be used for hiring or renting decisions.
- No SSN required — helpful, never mandatory
- No consent required from the subject
- Staff-searched, next business day
- Flat $67 per report, no subscription
What a personal background check shows
A personal background check pulls facts that people rarely volunteer. Moreover, our analysts verify each match before we release the file.
The USA Profile groups those facts into five sections. Consequently, you can scan the dossier quickly and still drill into any record.
No Social Security Number? You can still order.
Most screening companies demand an SSN before they search anything. In contrast, our USA Profile starts from a name, an approximate age and a last known address.
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act restricts who may use Social Security numbers and financial data. Therefore, we built this personal background check to work without one.
An SSN still helps, though. Specifically, it confirms identity on common names and returns a fuller address history. As a result, our analysts search more counties and catch more records.
You will not be penalized for leaving that field blank. Instead, give us every detail you do know, and our staff will widen the search manually.
Give us what you have
- Full name — required
- Last known address — required
- Approximate age — required
- Exact date of birth — strongly recommended
- Social Security Number — optional, improves accuracy
- Email address — optional, unlocks social profiles
Common surname? Then an exact DOB matters most. Consequently, we separate your subject from same-name records.

How to read your personal background check
Records look alarming until you read the disposition. Therefore, start at the outcome of each case, not the charge.
Check the disposition first
“Dismissed” and “nolle prossed” mean the state dropped the case. Consequently, no conviction exists.
Confirm the identifiers
Match the name, DOB and address on every record. Otherwise, you may be reading a same-name stranger.
Weigh the money records
Liens and judgments matter most for partnerships. Meanwhile, released and satisfied entries show the debt closed.
Separate civil from criminal
Traffic citations and ordinance violations often appear here. However, those entries are not crimes.
Follow the business trail
Dissolved entities and officer roles reveal past ventures. Furthermore, they expose undisclosed conflicts.
Ask us anything
Our analysts explain any entry by phone. Simply call (800) 661-0278 and quote your report number.
Why order this personal background check from us
People-search sites resell stale data and bury you in subscriptions. In contrast, we run each USA Profile the day you order it.
Humans verify every match
Our U.S. staff search and review each dossier by hand. Therefore, you get confirmed records, not an automated data dump.
Completely confidential
The report uses public records only. As a result, no notice reaches the subject at any point.
One flat fee
You pay $67 per report. Moreover, we charge no setup fee, no monthly plan and no cancellation hurdle.
Your data stays in the U.S.
We never offshore personal information. Additionally, PCI DSS-compliant payments and SSL encryption protect every order.
Multiple Authentication Factor
Every user account includes MAF protection. Consequently, a stolen password alone cannot open your reports.
Accredited and verified
We hold PBSA membership, a BBB A+ rating and Dun & Bradstreet verification. Meanwhile, we have screened since 2010.
Legal limits you must respect
The USA Profile is not a consumer report under the FCRA. Therefore, you may not use it to hire, fire, promote, rent to, insure or extend credit to anyone.
Employment and tenant decisions require an FCRA-compliant report. Additionally, they require the subject’s written consent. So order our FCRA Employment Screening instead.
You may use this personal background check for your own due diligence. For example, vet a business partner, a contractor, a roommate or a new relationship.
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act limits access to Social Security numbers and financial data. Consequently, we search from name, date of birth and address instead.
Database records sometimes include sealed, expunged or dismissed matters. As a result, you should read each case carefully before you judge anyone.
We supply compliance tools, not legal advice. Still, our support team will point you toward the right resources.
Personal background check FAQs
What is a personal background check?
A personal background check compiles public records about one individual. Specifically, it gathers identity, criminal, property, financial and business records into a single dossier.
Our USA Profile costs $67 and arrives the next business day.
Can I run a personal background check on someone without their permission?
Yes. The USA Profile searches public records, so no consent is required. Moreover, the subject never receives a notice and never learns you searched.
However, you may not use the result for employment, tenant, credit or insurance decisions.
Do I need a Social Security number to order a personal background check?
No. An SSN is helpful, but never required. Instead, give us the full name, approximate age and last known address.
If you do have the SSN, add it. Consequently, we confirm identity faster and return a fuller address history.
What information is included in a personal background check?
The USA Profile returns names and aliases, age, address history, phones, emails and social profiles. Additionally, it returns nationwide criminal, sex offender and Patriot Act searches.
Furthermore, it covers property deeds, foreclosures, evictions, bankruptcies, liens, judgments and business entities.
How long does a personal background check take?
Our staff search the USA Profile manually. Therefore, reports arrive the next business day in most cases.
Meanwhile, our $25 Basic database report returns within one to four hours.
Can I use a personal background check for hiring or renting?
No. Those decisions fall under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Accordingly, they require a consumer report and the subject’s signed authorization.
Order our FCRA Employment Screening or Tenant Screening for that purpose.
How do I run a personal background check on myself?
Order the same $58 FCRA Employment Screening that employers run. As a result, you see what a hiring manager will see.
Then dispute any mistaken identity or outdated record before you apply.
Is there a free way to do a background check on someone?
You can search county clerk portals and state corporation databases at no cost. However, that work takes hours and covers one jurisdiction at a time.
Our analysts search nationwide sources at once and verify each match.
What is Multiple Authentication Factor (MAF)?
MAF adds a second identity check when you sign in. Therefore, a stolen password alone cannot reach your reports.
Every USAbackground.com user account includes MAF at no extra cost.
