Our national criminal search is a powerful instant multi-jurisdictional database search comprised of hundreds of millions of records. The national criminal database search complements county criminal searches by increasing the likelihood of finding additional criminal information not disclosed during the application process. Our national criminal database search combined with the county criminal search will provide comprehensive criminal background searches to achieve coverage and accuracy. The price ranges between $45 and $60 per National Criminal Database Search which includes the national sex offender screening, an SSN Trace and other government watch lists. We offer volume discount pricing and package discounts when you bundle multiple services together.
The national criminal database search combines four services into one powerful background screening tool.
National Criminal search – The national criminal search includes records from a number of multi-jurisdictional sources throughout the United States including County Courts, Circuit Courts, Magisterial Courts, Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC), Department of Corrections (DOC), Department of Public Safety (DPS) and State Policing Agencies.
