Why Background Checks Matter
In today’s world, verifying someone’s background isn’t optionalโit’s essential. Whether you’re hiring an employee, renting to a tenant, or entering a business relationship, knowing who you’re dealing with protects you.
A single bad hire can cost tens of thousands in turnover, training, and potential lawsuits. One problem tenant can mean months of unpaid rent and property damage.
Our background checks give you the information you need to make confident, informed decisions.

- Criminal convictions and pending charges
- Sex offender status
- Past evictions and landlord disputes

Background Check FAQ
What information do I need to run a background check?
At minimum, you need the subject’s full name and date of birth. Social Security Number significantly improves accuracy. For FCRA-compliant checks, you’ll also need the subject’s signed authorization.
How long does a background check take?
Most background checks are completed within 24-48 hours. Some checks requiring county court searches or employment/education verification may take 3-5 business days.
Do I need the person’s permission to run a background check?
For employment and tenant screening purposes (FCRA-regulated), yesโyou must have written authorization. For personal due diligence or investigative purposes, authorization requirements vary.
What’s the difference between FCRA and non-FCRA background checks?
FCRA-compliant checks are used when making employment, tenant, or credit decisions and require specific disclosures. Non-FCRA checks are used for personal knowledge or investigative purposes.
How far back do criminal background checks go?
This varies by state and purpose. Most states allow 7-10 years of criminal history for employment screening. Some states have “ban the box” laws or other restrictions.
Will the person know I ran a background check?
For FCRA-compliant checks, disclosure is required before running the check. For non-FCRA investigative searches, the subject is not notified.
Do you search all 50 states?
Yes. Our national criminal database covers all 50 states plus federal records. We can also conduct county-level searches in specific jurisdictions.
