How much does a background check cost?We custom tailor each background check to the needs of the matter at hand. You can count on a background check starting at $416 for a good point of reference. However, depending on what you require, many cost around $1250 and into the many thousands of dollars, again, depending on what your mission is and what is important to know.
-
What does a background investigation cost?Background investigations are more in-depth and can focus on a certain area, be broad in nature or go very deep. Background investigations start at $1250.00
-
What's the differnece in a background check/investigation and criminal history?Criminal history investigations can be part of a background check/investigation. They can also be a stand alone service you choose to hire us for. Criminal history checks start at $400 where a basic background check starts at $600.
-
How long does a background check/investigation take?Depending upon the information you desire, a background check can be completed the same day. This is especially true of criminal history checks that use our proprietary sources to see if the Subject of investigation has a criminal history in the State and Counties we have access to. Some take longer, this is solely dependent upon how deep you wish to go. Some background investigations can take a month, but this is generally the case when we are interviewing people during the background investigation.
-
Will the person know I am conducting a criminal history check?Nope. No one will ever know, unless you tell them.
-
How much does a criminal history check cost?Prices start at $416. A lot will depend upon how deep the criminal check needs to go. For example, has the person lived in 27 counties across the U.S.? If so, then it can get more expensive than $416. This will also largely depend on whether we need to get the source documents from the courthouse they reside in. This will add significant costs.
-
Is the background check/investigation discreet?100% yes. There is nothing that leaves a trail on discreet background inquiries. However, some types of background investigations need the subject's permission to go into various areas of their life or if making financial inquiries. We will advise you ahead of time if that is the case so you can decide if this is what you want.
-
Why use you for criminal history over those cheap sites online?Because they're crap. They are not private investigators and they do not have access to the proprietary data we have. Plus there is no one working on your case. It's nothing more than a data dump. Sometimes there is accurate information. But do you really want to trust your decision to a cheap, unreliable data dump? Of course not! We have a lot to say about these online sources, but read more in our blog articles.
-
Do you conduct nationwide criminal checks?It is very misleading when private investigators talk about "nationwide" criminal history investigations. There are many nuances to this investigation, including which counting is reporting current data, what State has access to what information, etc. It's complex and best explained when you consult with us. Suffice it to say, there is no way we can just plug someones identifiers in and spit out a nationwide record, there are nuances to know and understand. Sometimes, records are not available unless we send someone to that particular courthouse.
