Turn Around Time: 24 hrs.  
Price: $24 per search

Our nationwide criminal database search is the most powerful criminal search available in the United States.

The sources of data includes 50 states and covers more than 220 million criminal history records on more than 85 million people. This search includes multiple sources for criminal records and includes state and county criminal record repositories, U.S. Department of Corrections, parole records, federal fugitive files and records from other state agencies. Although this database covers the entire United States, the depth of information is limited compared to hand searched court records; many states only include Department of Correction records. Therefore, this database is the ideal compliment to an existing criminal search program because you can now search not just where they live now.

All information is FCRA compliant. We recommend this search as a supplement to your standard county/statewide on-site criminal record searches. The nationwide criminal index search is a database search and the scope is limited.

Address history provided by this report can help identify the jurisdictions to include with your criminal record searches to be as thorough as possible in your criminal record searches.

DMV Abstract Services          
Turn Around Time: 24 hrs.
Price: $15

New York State driving records, also known as abstracts are records that provide a history of violations, suspensions, and other details about a person's driving history. Although you can order a driving record directly from the New York DMV, one of the fastest ways to get your Driving Record is to order it from our offices.

Businesses can also order New York driving records for employment screening purposes. Just like a credit report paints a picture of your financial well-being, your driving record contains a detailed history of your driving activity. Your record includes:

Your Name
Date of Birth
Mailing Address
License Class
Endorsements and Restrictions
Current Status
Expiration Date
Suspensions or Revocations
Vehicle Ownership
Vehicle Insurance Status
Accidents
Moving Violation
Convictions

 

Also like a credit report, this information says a lot about you and might be seen by other parties such as insurers and potential employers. If the information is unflattering, it could be used against you. This is why it sometimes makes sense to review your driving record to check its accuracy.  The DMV removes a conviction or an accident from a driver record on January 1 of the fourth year after the year of the conviction or the accident. For example, if an accident occurred during 2009, that accident report will remain on your New York driver record until January 1, 2013.

 

If you have a conviction that is alcohol-related or drug-related, that conviction will remain on your driver record for exactly 10 years.  In addition, other convictions and accidents of a serious type can remain on a driver record for more than 10 years.

 

If your drivers license has been suspended or revoked and it WAS cleared or termination, that suspension or revocation will remain on your driver record for four years from the date the suspension or revocation was terminated. (Note: The DMV uses the year when the suspension or the revocation was cleared or terminated, not the year when the suspension or the revocation began.)
