Contractor Basic results often arrive in as little as five minutes when the database search finds no records and the SSN Trace returns no discrepancies. Most other packages average 8–24 hours.
All turnaround times are averages, not guarantees. Records that need review can take longer.
Standard ($25.95) includes three criminal searches: unlimited County Criminal Records, Nationwide Federal Criminal Records, and a Nationwide Criminal Database Search.
County searches check records held by county courts, and federal searches cover federal courts. The database search scans records collected from many sources, and a result may need confirming at the court that holds the record.
No single search guarantees a complete record or decides whether you can use a finding in a hiring decision.
The Driver package ($30.95, 8–24 hours average) adds a motor vehicle record (MVR) search of the candidate’s driving history. It does not include drug testing.
Standard Package + Drug Screen ($65.95, 1–5 days average) adds a Labcorp Rapid 10-panel 6AM drug test.
Need both an MVR and a drug test? Request a quote for the combined order, and ask whether the role requires DOT-compliant testing.
Property Management ($53.95, 8–48 hours average) adds two Eviction Records searches plus Bankruptcies, Liens, and Judgments searches.
Finance & Accounting ($43.95, 8–24 hours average) adds FFIEC Banking Sanctions and OFAC Sanctions screening.
Before checkout, confirm each public-record search’s jurisdiction, availability, and full charge.
