  • Where should a background check be ordered if the subject of the search has recently relocated to Newark, New Hampshire?
    To conduct a background check on an individual who has recently relocated to Newark, New Hampshire, it is essential to gather all known addresses and residences associated with that person. Since the individual has moved, it may be necessary to check records from both their previous location and New Hampshire. A comprehensive approach would include requesting a national criminal background check through the FBI; however, this can only be initiated by the individual themselves. For more localized information, you can request a criminal history check from the New Hampshire State Police, which is typically more cost-effective than a full multi-state background check. For further details, you can visit the New Hampshire State Police website.
