SSN Trace + Address History
We use a database pulled from thousands of sources to provide summaries of the applicant’s name, name variations and previous addresses for further investigation to verify that your potential new hire is who they say they are.
7-Year Criminal History
The 7-Year Criminal History searches criminal records in county courts based on the results returned from the SSN Trace. Accurate researches felony and misdemeanor cases that return results of offenses, charges, file numbers, file dates, disposition and sentences to help you make sense of the findings and make fair hiring decisions. We conduct searches in any county in the United States.
National Criminal Check with County Verification
National Criminal Search is a proprietary database compiled using information sourced from county courts and statewide criminal databases as well as from sex offender and correctional databases. To comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) for pre-employment purposes, all screening results must be retrieved from the original source. Therefore, if the National Criminal database search uncovers a criminal record, Accurate performs a follow-up search at the local level, which is included in your package setup.
National Sex Offender Registry
The National Sex Offender Registry search examines the most recent, updated list of registered sex offenders.
Global Watch
Global Watch helps your company comply with the USA Patriot Act, Bank Secrecy Act, Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) Screening, Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and many other terrorist and fraud searches by gathering current data from top U.S. and global official sanction and embargo lists.
Current County Criminal Search
This basic criminal record search looks for criminal records in the current county corresponding to the address provided by the applicant.

Federal Criminal Search
Federal violations generally do not appear in county or statewide criminal checks; offenses that are violations of Federal law, as opposed to state or local law, can only be found through a search of U.S. District Courts. Note that Federal offenses can be severe and can include kidnapping, drug trafficking, interstate transportation of stolen goods, bank robbery and embezzlement.
