Credit Report:
A credit report is a report created by a credit bureau of a person's credit history. It contains detailed information of the person's borrowing and repayment habits. NationSearch.com searches major credit bureaus for credit history. Appropriate releases and applicant knowledge is required. NationSearch.com, LLC adheres to the F.C.R.A. regulations and requirements. (Fair Credit Reporting Act). Therefore, before we can provide credit searches for our clients, you must go through a credentialing process, which may include an onsite visit. The law does not allow the reporting of a FICO score, for this search.
Social Security Trace:
Using a name and social security number, a past address history search retrieves information from the credit bureaus and reveals where a subject has lived in the past 3 to 5 years. The most effective way of using this tool is to take all the addresses displayed and find out their associated states and counties. Once you have this information, you can begin to run some of the most basic but powerful searches for criminal records; the county and statewide criminal searches.
Nationwide Evictions*:
An "eviction" is a legal proceeding by which the landlord seeks to reclaim the premises (apartment or home) and put the tenant out.
NationSearch.com performs a national eviction search to see if your tenant applicant has been evicted from a previously rented property. This search is a multi state search, determined by the applicants social security number location information.
OFAC Report:
The OFAC search pulls from a database that is supplied by the Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Asset Control. This tool lists individuals, groups, and entities, such as terrorists and narcotics traffickers designated under programs that are not country-specific. Collectively, such individuals and companies are called "Specially Designated Nationals" or "SDNs." Their assets are blocked and U.S. agents and officers are generally prohibited from dealing with them.
Instant Nationwide Criminal Report**:
This search is the most comprehensive instant state criminal search on the market. NationSearch.com pulls database information from a multitude of data sources, and combines the information in an easy to read format. The data sources query over 850 million records from a variety of public record sources, such as sex offender registries, arrest records, county court records, Department of Correction records and municipality data records.
Please be advised that each state, county, city, and sex offender registry releases only information that meets their individual practices and protocols of release. Identifiers will vary by each data source, and as a result this data source should not be the sole determining factor for placement. A comprehensive criminal search or a county search should also be included.
County Criminal Search:
This search provides information regarding misdemeanor and/or felony convictions, as well as other charges in the county. Information provided is a full disposition: class level, case number and other identifiers per the various county guidelines. Note: In most states, multiple counties are searched. In some states, some counties are unavailable, through data exchange, and require a court researcher to physically go to the court and acquire the information.
Department of Corrections:
The Department of Corrections is a governmental agency responsible for overseeing the incarceration of persons convicted of crimes within a particular jurisdiction. A search reveals if a person has been housed (i.e. in community corrections, halfway house, etc.), incarcerated, on probation or paroled by the State.
Federal Criminal Records Search:
Some offenses are violations of Federal law as opposed to state or local law. Record of these crimes can be located in the US District Courts. Each state has at least one US District Court, while others are divided into as many as four districts in separate geographical regions. Federal violations generally will not appear in either a county or statewide criminal check. Only a small percentage of criminal cases are violations of Federal law. Examples of Federal offenses can be kidnapping, drug trafficking, interstate transportation of stolen goods, bank robbery, and embezzlement, just to name a few.
Sex Offender Registry Search:
This search provides information per state guidelines as to whether or not a person is a registered sex offender. In some cases the information provided is type of crime, date of birth of offender and sentence information. The search is done at the state level, within the state or states where the applicants’ information dictates. If the client chooses, a National search is executed.
NationSearch.com strictly abides by all FCRA guidelines and certain requirements must be met prior to any client receiving tenant screening privileges.
Most clients are set up and approved within 72 business hours.
