Standard Background Check

Our Standard Background Check combines our national criminal background check with identity verification (SSN, names, and date of birth) along with 7 years unlimited county searches based on address history. We also include results from OIG / LEIE medical exclusions, OFAC, and government watchlists.

This report is strictly limited to U.S. employers in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) using corporate payment methods and with the permission of the applicant. If you need to run a background check on yourself, or if an employer / landlord has requested one from you, please use our National Criminal Background Check instead.

Plus county passthrough fees. Report prices are per person.


  • Experienced customer service representatives are available to assist you by phone or e-mail.
  • No surprises on county passthrough fees -- you can configure a county fee limit for your searches.
  • Identity verification done ahead of the criminal search, allowing you to stop at a reduced price if the applicant has provided incorrect information.
  • One maiden name may be added at no additional base cost. (Please note, however, this may increase county passthrough fees as two names must be searched.)
  • Volume pricing, multi-user accounts, and billing options are available.
  • Reports are available in professional, tamper-resistant Adobe PDF format. Online archiving and receipts for expense purposes are included free of charge.
  • For employment screening, we mail the initial consumer notification letter at no additional cost to you. (Please note this is not a substitute for your pre-adverse notification requirements. For more information see frequently asked questions about our background checks or consult with your legal counsel.)
  • We are a proud member of the Professional Background Screening Association.

Do not use this function if you are running a report on yourself! You will have a chance to share the report with your employer or landlord later, after you have reviewed it for accuracy. You will also be able to download your own copies then.
