Name-Based Background Check
Important Notice:
Requests Must Be Made by the Individual
We want to remind all users that background check requests must be submitted directly by the individual whose information is being requested. For privacy, security, and legal compliance, no third party is permitted to request or access someone else's background check information.
What You Need to Know:
- Only the person the record belongs to can initiate or authorize a background check request.
- Businesses or third party requests are not accepted, even with verbal permission.
- Do not submit a request on behalf of another person. This includes submitting on behalf of employees, contractors, perspective employees, or customers. Direct them to complete the process themselves.
- Unauthorized attempts to access another person's background information may violate privacy laws and can result in criminal prosecution.
Protecting Personal Information:
- Background check data contains sensitive personal information. To ensure accuracy, security, and compliance, all requests must come from the individual and follow the approved submission process.
- If you have questions about how to submit your own request, please contact our support team at 601-933-2600.
Please review before submitting a criminal background check request.
- Each request is $32.00. Visa, Mastercard, Discover, or American Express (credit or debit cards) are accepted.
- Background checks may take up to 30 calendar days to be fulfilled.
- If the criminal background check results are to be released to a third party you must be prepared to provide; name, address, city, state, zip and fax number (if fax is the preferred delivery method) of the individual authorized to receive the information.
