The most common background check questions

How do companies get their data within a background check?

Data within background check sites come from government data sources. For example, when someone gets arrested that person goes through a process in court. Those court hearings become documented and recorded through the courts. Each time that person has a hearing within a court it becomes a record and store. This is where the background checks sites that specialize in finding and displaying these records into an easy-to-read report come in. Background check sites like BeenVerified, TruthFinder, and InstantCheckMate are able to take this data and make it simple for the users to read. The below are qualities of the Top background check sites for 2019

What data can you find within a background check?

Depending on what service you go with will depend on what type of data you may find. Keep in mind that not all background check services provide the same quality of record data. Typically, when available you may find the below data within a background check search:

• Aliases that are known
• Legal name
• Addresses both current and previous
• Arrest records
• Relatives
• Birth dates
• Phone numbers
• Bankruptcies
• weapon permits
• Social media accounts
• And more…
