*While we offer several standard screening templates to fit frequent client needs, we are happy to create new background checks that are tailored to fit our clients' needs exactly. Social Security Trace: This report will provide an address history normally based on credit header records from the three major credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax and TransUnion).This information serves as a useful guide for determining which counties, and states, records should be investigated.
Federal Criminal Records Search: Violations of Federal law are handled by U.S. District Courts located in each state.While less common than cases handled in county courthouses, Federal cases are normally serious offenses such as embezzlement, kidnapping, drug trafficking and robbery.Appeals court records are also handled in Federal courthouses.Federal records can be searched fairly quickly but are only listed by name, so common names may require further investigation to confirm identity.
Federal Civil Records Search: U.S. District Courts also handle civil violations of Federal law.Federal civil violations often involve actions against the federal government, financial institutions, interstate commerce, etc.Results can normally be obtained in 24 hours.
CountyCriminal Records Search: Records searches at county courthouses are the most effective means of finding any legal misconduct.Most counties keep records for the last seven years.SecuriCheck normally searches every county of residence and occupation over the past seven years.These have proven to be the most likely locations of any criminal records available.
Statewide Criminal Records Search: Most states offer statewide records searches and their content varies state by state.Most will include criminal and traffic court records from some or all counties within the state.
National Tenant Registry: National database of evictions and other tenancy related malfeasance.

National Sex Offender Registry: This Department of Justice database of registered sex offenders covers all states.Due to lagging update times, the national check is best considered in conjunction with a statewide sex offender check.
CountyCivil Records Search: Civil court records describe legal actions between individuals and businesses.Both the plaintiff(s) and defendant(s) as well as the judgment and awards may be reflected in these records.
Statewide Sex Offender Registry: Most every state produces and maintains a sex offender registry.SecuriCheck will check the registries of every state where a search subject has resided or worked.
Workers Compensation History: This is an important check for pre-employment screening to avoid hiring someone simply looking for an insurance claim rather than a job. Subjects who have filed fraudulent or frivolous claims in the past are likely to do so again with future employers.
U.S. Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (USOFAC) Search: Also known as the Patriot Act search, this search checks the subject's name against an updated list of people from targeted foreign countries, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, and those engaged in activities related to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
Department of the Treasury Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List Search: This search checks the subject's name against a Treasury Department list of specially designated foreign nationals and blocked persons.
Education Verification: Most institutions at all levels will confirm dates of attendance, degree(s) earned if any and subjects of study. Such searches may require that an additional release form(s) be provided.
Employment History: Normally past employers will provide dates of hire and termination, ending job title and eligibility for future employment. More information may be attained from interviews with superiors, but most mid to large sized companies are wary of going into detail for fear of future legal action by past employees.
Reference Checks: We conduct personal reference checks whether they be employers, coworkers, employees or friends. For more independent verifications in our most complete checks (given that subjects are likely to put biased contacts on their applications), we can ask the given contacts for other references who may have known the subject and then conduct an interview with them. For the most complete checks we can go three contacts deep. License Verification: An relevant licensing authorities can be contacted to ascertain the subject's current status and history.
