Our National Criminal Background Check and Sex Offender Check is a comprehensive criminal check showing felonies, misdemeanors, sex offenses and more at the state and county level. We also include results from OIG / LEIE medical exclusions, OFAC, and government watchlists (GSA / SAM). Please see Coverage for details about the data provided.

We cast a wide net, with all database hits followed by a search at the courthouse for the most complete and up-to-date information. This yields 4x the number of criminal records of the database files offered by our competitors. Companies and individuals rely on us every day to keep them informed and safe. See the power of what we can do.
