Checkr: Package Descriptions

The following article includes package descriptions for the different background check packages available through Checkr.

Social Security Number Trace

• Social Security Number Trace: Based on the Social Security Number provided by the applicant, Checkr can do an initial check to ensure that the number is valid and is not associated with a deceased individual.  If the above criteria are not met, the Checkr system alerts the applicant to request additional documentation (e.g. drivers license).

Address History

• Address History: The Checkr Identity Check includes a trace of all known addresses over a minimum of the  past 7 years. Based on this information and the package selected, Checkr searches relevant court jurisdictions for criminal records. Checkr also offers an extended address history search that can utilize all known address history returned from the Social Security number Trace, without limitation.

Sex Offender Check

• Sex Offender Check: A thorough background check should include a Sex Offender Registry Check. Checkr searches public registries for every state and territory within the United States. The data returned includes a date of registration and current status.

Global Watchlist Check

• Global Watchlist Check: This check searches known domestic and international terrorist watchlists as well as the records of the Office of Inspector General (OIG), Excluded Parties List (EPL) and additional domestic and international agency lists.

National Criminal Records Search

• National Criminal Records Search: This check scours over 30 million records. It is an excellent “lead source” for records to be searched at the county level because it reveals summary case information. It must be run concurrent with the county criminal records search, as records at the county level are more complete and up-to-date than information obtained at the national level.

County Criminal Records Search

• County Criminal Records Search: Checkr performs direct searches of county court records for different industries and companies of all sizes. This search is part of the baseline for establishing due diligence. Results include felony and misdemeanor criminal cases as well as charges, disposition, dates and sentencing information.

National and International Education Verifications

• National and International Education Verifications: Checkr offers verification of education credentials that confirm degree received, course of study, and dates of attendance.

Employment Verifications

• Employment Verification: Checkr offers Employment Verifications for one current employer or for the past three employers, going back 7 years.

Motor Vehicle Records

• Motor Vehicle Records: Checkr offers a full driving records check that provides records from all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia. Reports detail:

• License status
• Violations and infractions
• Accidents
• Suspensions or revocations
• Expiration date
• Endorsements

Drug Screening
