Free Background Checks?

Public records are after all, public records. What this means is that these records are maintained by government agencies that are open without restriction to public inspection, either by statute or by traditional means. There are three places you can find public records:

At a government agency: You may view them directly from the physical source which  includes courthouses, recording offices, police departments, state departments and many more government facilities. It means travel, time and expenses with no guarantee that you will find the records you are looking for.

In today's information age, many government agencies offer information sites free and open to the general public to search for public records.  We have provided a sample of phrases or keywords to search for in any major search engine that will at least lead you in the right direction should that particular government agency offer any of their records online.  It just takes a little bit of time and patience while testing and perfecting your researcher's skills. Please bear in mind that internet culture is based not on offering all available information cluttered into one single page, but by following links to specific topics.

Online public records private databases: If you cannot find what you are searching for, then you may want to try our fee-based services whereby we collect billions of records from both government and private records repositories.  Being a consumer reporting agency business, we have to pay for obtaining and reselling those bulk records and pay our programmers to categorize and format them for your intended use.
