In a Nutshell
Available Searches
US Search offers the full package of searches – from basic people lookups to in-depth criminal background and innovative social network indexing. Leaving no stone unturned, you are afforded every possible method in the search for somebody when using this Washington-based company – whether you’re armed just with a name or with the full details of an individual. Records are kept rapidly up-to-date by searching and crawling live records, so you can be assured that your information is as accurate as possible.
Report Details
We attempted to track down an individual in the United States and discover their criminal background. We used their first name, surname and state – which offered us 3 results. Only one of them was in the correct city, so we quickly identified our target from the list. US Search indicated that there was information available on criminal records, lawsuits, misdemeanors, felonies and more. We would also, of course, be privy to address history, properties, e-mail address etc.
Having found the individual with the correct name and address, we’re confident of the accuracy of the full report – which is available in either statewide or nationwide options. We could have purchased either of these as a one-off product and the sample report showed us the level of detail on offer: case numbers, sources, filing dates, disposition dates, arrest types etc.
Key Features
It’s very simple to get a report from US Search – it’s not a company that’s jumped on the responsive website or clever marketing bandwagon. Everything is very utilitarian and does the job well – making it far more usable in comparison to the competition. Free searches are more than enough to determine whether a full report is worth paying for and being able to track people down simply by their social media network could be invaluable when screening people.
Fees
Criminal background checks through US Search don’t require or offer a free trial, per se. However, they do offer an opportunity to get 7 days of unlimited reports only for $7.95. In addition, you can make very reasonably priced single report purchases which come armed with the entire criminal background of your target individual. With the Instant State Criminal Search offering at a special price of $9.85 with OmniSearch and the Instant Nationwide Criminal Search available for $18.75, for the level of detail and the prestige of the provider, prices are incredibly competitive.
Reliability
With recommendations from CBS and WSJ, not to mention an illustrious 20 year history – US Search cannot be questioned on its reliability. There are 20+ pages of testimonials on the company website which, quite literally, speak for themselves…
