A National Criminal Record Database Search is a comprehensive national database search that allows employers the ability to search and discover potential criminal records that may not show up on a county or statewide search. Adding a National Criminal Record Database Search can help employers uncover additional criminal records in jurisdictions beyond those known addresses provided by your applicant, searching in counties and states where your applicant has worked, lived, or attended school. 

A National Criminal Record Database Search draws from over 500 million records from thousands of jurisdictions, including counties, The Department of Corrections (DOC), The Administrative Office of Courts (AOC), and Sex Offender registries from all 50 states, plus Washington DC, Guam, and Puerto Rico.

When a record is returned, ECS will confirm the accuracy of the record hit with the originating source at the county or state courthouse. The National Criminal Database Search is only available in conjunction with additional county and statewide record searches.
