Checkr conducts a National Criminal Database Search as a routine part of all criminal background checks. The search queries 3,200 counties and over 900 million records across the United States, and provides a quick means to evaluate which courts or jurisdictions should be searched more thoroughly for any given candidate.
The National Criminal Database Search is used only as a "pointer search" to determine which courts or jurisdictions to search. Records returned from this database do not appear on the final report.
For more information, please see National Criminal Database Search in the Checkr Help Center.
