  • Where can I find the source of the records for a background check?
    Many companies will not disclose their sources entirely or only offer a general answer. Background checks collect recorded public data under a subject's name or other identifiers. Some criminal checks, such as the one from the Pennsylvania State Police, use law enforcement data from all over the state. Privacy precautions are taken seriously as the law also prevents disclosure of particular types of information from guarding identity theft again. Similar to criminal background data, other types of records are held by departments in federal, state, or local, city, and county governments. Courts are the source of cases, including divorces, prior civil actions, lawsuits, etc. A service that provides a search to your satisfaction and needs can save time and effort.
