Name and Address Search

Using a name and social security number, a past address history search retrieves information from the credit bureaus and reveals where a subject has lived in the past 3 to 10 years.  This search also validates the social security number location issued and  date issued.   The most effective way of using this tool is to take all the addresses displayed and find out their associated states and counties.  Once you have this information, you can begin to run some of the most basic but powerful searches for criminal records; the county and statewide criminal searches.   Turn-Around Time-Instant                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Return To Top

County Criminal Checks

County criminal checks are performed directly at the county court house and are the most accurate check available. There are over 3,100 county court houses in the United States. We order county searches based on your package and defined criteria. Approximately 45% of searchs can be conducted online directly into the court system.  These are the same tools a researcher would  use if they went to the court house.  If there is no access, then one of our researches will actually go to the court house and check the file to see if your applicant or volunteer has a criminal conviction. Most court houses go back a minimum of 7 years where Federal and State laws allow.  Turn-Around Time Average 28 hours

Federal Criminal History

This check is accomplished by searching the U.S. District Court's indices at the federal level. Federal violations usually will not appear in a county, state or national criminal check.

National Criminal Database Search

This searches a national criminal records database of millions of criminal records gathered across all 50 states from local, state and federal government sources including administrative offices of the courts, departments of public safety and state corrections departments to name a few. While data from some sources such as North Carolina is updated on a daily basis, most sources are updated monthly or quarterly. As with all background screening companies, the data is current to the level of the contributor. This search can help reveal offenses in jurisdictions purposely excluded from an application by a candidate.  S2Verify is one of the few companies that owns their own database.  Most companies buy these services from another company, limiting their ability to be competitive.  Turn-Around Time-Instant (Hits are reviewed and adjudicated and could take longer)
