Where We Find Information

Our thorough background reports compile information from these sources:

Sex Offender Registry

The Registered Sex Offender search returns results from the sex offender registries available nationwide.

OFAC/Patriot Act Terrorist Watch List

The SSN Trace verifies the year and state in which the Social Security Number was issued, as well as cross-checking against the Social Security Death Index (SSDI). The SSN Trace also lists all known alias names, along with previous addresses and telephone numbers.
