Frequently Asked Questions

How current is the information in your reports?

We access the most current information available from official sources. Database searches are typically updated regularly, while court record searches reflect the most recent information available at the time of our search. We clearly indicate the search date and source currency in all reports.

What makes your service different from online background check services?

Unlike many online services that rely solely on databases, we combine database searches with primary source verification. Our qualified researchers access official records directly, verify information accuracy, and provide context that automated systems cannot. We also provide FCRA compliance support and legal guidance.
