We search what matters

Search records at the county, state, and federal level.

Cover criminal records at the county, state, and federal level including courts that require a court-runner to obtain comprehensive records. 30% of U.S. county records exist only in physical courthouses — our court runner network covers them all.

Verify employment history, corporate affiliations, education credentials, and professional licenses — including gaps, discrepancies, and claims that don’t hold up.

Search for federal and county-level tax liens, UCC filings, civil judgments, and financial encumbrances, including records that require a court runner to access.

Confirm professional licenses, academic credentials, and certifications directly with issuing institutions — not just self-reported histories.

Search civil litigation at the federal, state, and county level, including adversarial proceedings, bankruptcy filings, and cases that don’t appear in national databases.

Surface reputational risk across global news sources, trade publications, and local media — in 35+ languages, with human review to separate signal from noise.

Screen against global sanctions lists, regulatory enforcement actions, PEP databases, and watchlists across jurisdictions worldwide.

Review public-facing digital presence for reputational red flags, inconsistencies with stated background, and conduct that doesn’t surface in traditional records searches.
