ChoicePoint National Criminal File Search* The ChoicePoint National Criminal File provides a database search of more than 200 million criminal records representing more than 62 million individuals. Records are gathered from across all 50 states, from multiple criminal record repositories.

This innovative nationwide search complies with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and instantly covers a considerably broader geographic search scope than the typical seven (7) year search of counties of residences lived and worked. A standard one or two county background check will not typically find a record if the person has moved, or committed a crime in another county or state. Serious offenders move from state to state, and sometimes do not provide complete address history when applying for employment. Local courthouse searches are an appropriate supplement to ChoicePoint National Criminal File searches.

Database Repositories include:
  • Department of Corrections (Inmates & Release files, Probation & Parole)
  • Administrative Office of Courts
  • Individual County Courts
  • State Specific Criminal Record Repositories
  • ChoicePoint Proprietary Criminal Record Data
  • Sex Offender Registry Records (48 States plus Washington, D.C.**) [AL, AK, AR, AZ, CO, CT, DE, FL, GA, HI, ID, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, ME, MD, MI, MN, MO, MS, MT, NE, NV, NH, NJ, NM, NY, NC, ND, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY and District of Columbia.]
** CA and MA may be available for approved permissible purposes.

ChoicePoint National Criminal File Search PLUS* The ChoicePoint National Criminal File PLUS utilizes proprietary technology to instantly search for names associated with the candidate's Social Security number.

  • Helps to uncover names not reported by the candidate

  • Provides address history associated with the SSN
ScreenNow offers this powerful tool as an instant one-click solution.

How does it work?
  1. ChoicePoint National Criminal File PLUS will search for additional names and addresses associated with the subject's Social Security number that was provided by the user*.
  2. A search is then conducted against the ChoicePoint National Criminal File database using the original first and last name and date of birth provided by the user, PLUS an additional search will be done using the subject's date of birth and developed names associated with the subject's SSN.
  3. Addresses associated with the subject's social security number are provided, should the user wish to order an individual county court search in potentially unreported addresses. County searches should be ordered using only the subject's given name from which you have a signed authorization.
  4. The search is conducted within seconds and the results on all criminal records found in the ChoicePoint National Criminal File associated with any or all alternate names, and matching the date of birth of the subject provided by the user, will be returned in an easy to read format. A separate informational only report showing the alternate names and address history will also be provided. The information provided in the second report should not be used to make an employment decision.
Criminal data sources include all sources listed in the ChoicePoint National Criminal File Search.

*Note: The ChoicePoint National Criminal File PLUS searches do NOT include a Social Security Number Verification. The PLUS searches only provide names and addresses from the database that are associated with the social security number entered by the user for the purpose of uncovering potential criminal records under names or aliases that may have been used by the subject.
