Tenant Pricing

Civil records are a group of public records that pertain to civil registry records, civil family matters and non criminal civil offenses. These records vary a lot because of the nature of the information that is recorded. By definition, cvil pertains to citizens and there are a multitude of different records that define what is recorded.

Pricing is per name, per jurisdiction searched and may vary in some jurisdictions. Less than 10 percent of the counties charge court-imposed fees on all records ordered.  These fees are billed over and above the record retrieval costs.  Contact us for a detailed listing of counties with extra costs.

When conducting a pre-screen background investigation, a criminal history is of utmost importance.  These searches typically are placed in two main categories: arrest records and court records.  The use of each category has its strengths and weaknesses, so it is important for you to evaluate what you are trying to achieve to determine which is best for your application.

County Level court records typically are housed within the courthouse at the county level.  To simplify the system, each county jurisdiction typically is broken into three levels.  The first and highest level is the district court, sometimes referred to as superior court.  At this level, you generally will find most felony cases.

The second level  is the county court.  At this level, you will find most serious misdemeanor cases.

The lowest level is the municipal court, sometimes referred to as city court.  At this level, you typically will find most minor misdemeanors and petty offenses, usually cases where the individual simply was issued a summons to appear in court.

When conducting a County level Court Record Search, TruDiligence always will search the first and second level courts, where available.  Municipal courts can be searched, but are considered a special request and will involve an additional charge.

Pricing is per name, per jurisdiction searched and may vary in some jurisdictions.

This search is a combination of several popular database searches, packaged together at a discount.  It includes:

National Criminal Database
National Sex Offender Database
OFAC / Homeland Security Database

See the individual product descriptions for details.

The National Criminal Database is a "third party" database which comprises records obtained from the state Department of Corrections and the Administrative Office of the Courts, where available. Coverage areas and update schedules vary by jurisdiction. Coverage details are available at http://www.trudiligence.com/docs/nationalcriminalcoverage.pdf.

National database systems are dependent upon getting their data from the individual state and county jurisdictions. If an individual state or county does not update its data to the national system on a regular basis, or at all for that matter, the system may have holes in its coverage area. Therefore, national database records should be used only as a tool to uncover areas requiring additional research.

TruDiligence does not recommend the use of national database records as a standalone search nor a means of promoting due diligence in screening practices or maintaining compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. County-level courthouse records are recommended for this purpose.

*IMPORTANT NOTE: Should you choose to use the National Criminal Database as a broad search tool and a record is found, the search results automatically will be validated with a direct search of the source county courthouse records. This validation is required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act Sections 607 and 613 to ensure accuracy of the result provided by the "third party" database. Any additional cost associated with this process will be billed at published rates which currently are $8.00 and up for county-level court record verification.

A "no record" result will turn around instantly however, when this verification on "yes record hits" is required the results of the completed search will be delayed by 24 - 72 hours while the verification search completes.

 Pricing is on a per-name-searched basis.

This is a nationwide search for outstanding warrants on a subject.  The warrant must be active and the jurisdiction must be willing to extradite the subject on the charges in order for the warrant to show on this search.  In most cases, this search will return the date the warrant was issued and by which jurisdiction.  The charge or crime for which the warrant was issued typically will not be provided.  A subsequent search of criminal records may be necessary to gain this information.  This search is priced on a per name basis.

Most jurisdictions require any individual convicted of a sexually related crime to register with the county he/she resides in.  TruDiligence can assist in searching an applicant against these databases to ensure the individual is not a convicted sex offender.
