To follow is a summary of each of the certified background check reports we offer:

Report or Search Name	Description
Social Security Address Trace Report	Provides insight into applicant’s residency and movement patterns by returning full name, age and DOB, a complete address history, and may contain dates and phone numbers at listed addresses. As an additional barrier to identity theft, data is crosschecked through the Social Security Death Index, which is designed to prevent stealing of a deceased person’s identity.
I-9/E-Verify Program	Provides the most user-friendly and mistake-proof way to comply with Form I-9 employment eligibility verification and E-Verify regulations. Failure to comply can cost even small businesses thousands of dollars in fines.

The software fully integrates with the Department of Homeland Security E-Verify system to automatically submit employee data and receive real-time responses.
Civil County Search, Lower Court and/or Upper Court	Searches a specified county’s lower court cases to identify non-criminal suits filed by individuals or corporations, such as product-liability suits, local civil-rights violations, judgments for non-payment of goods, and litigation related to divorce, marriage, or child custody.
