If applicants choose not to divulge all of the places they have lived and worked, you could miss some critical clues regarding their possible criminal histories.
The First Advantage NationScan Criminal Index can help fill in those blanks and identify localities where more in-depth state and county criminal record searches are warranted.
Available through our Web tool, the NationScan Criminal Index search provides access to more than 200 million felony and misdemeanor records in the United States. It gives you a head start on more detailed local searches for a comprehensive criminal records check.
NationScan utilizes multiple criminal record sources, including: Department of Corrections, state court administration, state law enforcement agencies, traffic courts, sexual offender registries, state and county criminal record repositories, prison parole and release files, probation records, and records from other state agencies. As an added bonus, each order is searched against the OFAC list (Office of Foreign Assets Control Terrorist Watch List) and the FBI Top 10 Most Wanted Fugitives list.
