Employee Background Check Pricing

Employers who conduct background screening greatly reduce the risk of employee theft, fraud and embezzlement. Background screening may reveal past criminal behavior and save your company thousands of dollars by helping you prevent a bad hire. Additionally, it is important that you protect your employees and clients from sex and violent offenders. Conducting background screening sends a message to your employees, vendors, and clients that you are serious about safety. NCS has an extensive list of screening options and reports for your pre-employment screening. There are multiple custom and state packages available. Contact NCS for more details: support@nationalcrimesearch.com or 888-527-3282.

County Criminal Search $16.95

The County Criminal History search is a manual, physical examination of a person’s criminal history report from the county seat in any U.S. county. Our team of experienced researchers will provide a comprehensive criminal search containing information on felony and/or available misdemeanor offenses located at the county seat for the previous 7 years at the county level. Depending on the state, some county courts have both an upper (felony) and lower (misdemeanor) court. In this case, the upper court is the court that is searched. If a lower court is needed, please contact NCS.

Each name and jurisdiction is a separate criminal record search.

Turn around time is usually 5-7 business days or less, but may be longer depending on what time of the day you submit your search request.

Additional fees may apply as some counties charge additional search fees.

Get Started

Returns results based upon a SSN match to display all publicly listed addresses associated with the submitted SSN. The information returned can include previous residential addresses and may also include previous credit accounts. This information should be used for research purposes only.

Civil Litigation Search $18.95

Identifies non-criminal lawsuits by or against a person or company. A civil record is a non-criminal dispute between two parties and can involve contract disputes, money, property, etc. Civil Searches are highly recommended to determine a person's character or to screen companies, contractors, potential business partners and outsourcing companies. The Civil Litigation Search is conducted directly at the county courts and is not available statewide. Please note that civil litigation searches are only matched by first name and last name by the courts. Rarely other identifiers are available.

Additional county fees may apply.

Results vary, but may take 5-7 business days.

Get Started

Tax Lien Search (federal & state) $45.95

Searches for Federal and State Tax Liens by county.

Tax Lien searches are only conducted at the county level where they are filed by the State or Government for failure to pay taxes. Neither of these are filed at a state or federal level because they usually are a lien on a house or some kind of property.

Results vary, but they are typically returned within 5 - 7 business days. Price is per search per county. Additional county fees may apply.

Get Started

These Courts do not include cases filed in county or state courts. Mail fraud, bank robbery, interstate drug trafficking and the like are the types of cases stored in the Federal courthouses. Since this check searches the U.S. Federal District Court Master Name Index, if the individual whom you are requesting information on has a common name, this search may return numerous possible matches. This is a 7 year, name-match only search.

We also still provide the ability perform a nationwide Federal District Court search. This option allows you to search all Federal District Courts. If you require this nationwide coverage, please contact NCS Support at 888-527-3282 or by email at support@nationalcrimesearch.com.
