Background Check - Pre-Employment Screening FAQ

How do I know where to look for a criminal background check record?
The best way to determine where your applicant has lived is to run an Address History Search. This is based on their Social Security Number and uses information from the credit reporting agencies as well as numerous other resources to develop a complete history of residency. Each address will have the County identified, and a County Criminal Record search can be completed for the appropriate counties. Our ordering system allows you to use the Address History Search to automatically order the County Criminal Searches, without any additional data entry.

What if someone has changed their name, been married, etc.?
If you know the alternate name, you can include it in your search request. If an additional name is disclosed during the background check – by the Address History/Social Security Trace for example – then you might want to ask the applicant about it first, then include it in your searches.
