What Is a Criminal Background Check?
A criminal background check is a screening service that searches available criminal record sources to help identify legally reportable criminal history. Depending on the package and jurisdiction, a criminal record background check may include local or county criminal court records, state criminal records, national criminal database records, federal criminal records, sex offender registry records, and international criminal records.
Global Background Screening offers criminal background checks for employers, landlords, contractors, vendors, volunteers, and individuals, with FCRA-compliant workflows for employment and tenant screening.
USA Criminal Background Check Options
Global Background Screening offers two USA criminal background check options: Criminal Check Basic for fast, lower-cost database screening and Criminal Check Complete for broader employment, contractor, volunteer, vendor, and business screening.
You can also select a la carte services only at checkout if you prefer to build your own package or order a specific search by itself.
Criminal Check Basic — $21.99
Typical turnaround time: 1 business day
A fast, entry-level criminal background check typically used for personal checks, preliminary screening, basic volunteer screening, low-risk contractor/vendor screening, or situations where a national database search is acceptable.
Includes:
-
National criminal database search
-
Sex offender registry search
-
SSN check
Important note:
Criminal Check Basic searches digitized database records only and does not search every courthouse or non-digitized court record.

National, County, State, and Federal Criminal Background Checks
A complete criminal screening program often uses more than one type of criminal record search. Global Background Screening offers multiple criminal search options depending on the purpose of the report.
National Criminal Background Check
A national criminal background check searches broad criminal database sources that may include criminal records, sex offender registry information, correctional data, and other available criminal record sources.
For FCRA-compliant employment screening, possible national database matches require source-level or court-level verification before being reported or used in a decision.
State Criminal Background Check
A state criminal background check searches available statewide criminal record sources, depending on the state and availability of records. View our options and order a State Level Criminal Search Now
County Criminal Background Check
A county criminal background check searches criminal court records at the local or county level.
County searches are often one of the most important parts of a criminal record background check because many criminal cases are filed and maintained at the county court level.
Federal Criminal Background Check
A federal criminal background check searches federal criminal court records. Global Background Screening offers a federal criminal search add-on for $6, covering all 94 federal district courts nationwide.
Federal criminal searches may identify federal cases involving offenses prosecuted in federal court, which may not appear in county or state criminal searches.
