Criminal Report

Our Criminal Report Package includes the most basic tenant-related services. A description of each service included in the Criminal Report Package is provided below. 

Criminal Search

A criminal record search is the core of any background report. At Airfactz, we utilize a combination of on-site county researchers and comprehensive criminal record databases.  When we use these two methods in conjunction with one another, we have the ability to search over 300 million records instantly as well as every individual county courthouse in the United States.  These searches include federal, superior, district, municipal, and county court records in all 50 states.  Included in all criminal searches is a comprehensive 50-state sex offender search.  We use all the personal identifiers on the application, resume, social search, and credit report to make sure that all appropriate jurisdictions are searched and no criminal record is missed. 

Sex Offender Search

According to Megan's Law and others, sexual offenders must register whenever they move to a new residence.  Currently, there are over one million sex offenders living in the U.S. who are listed on these statewide, government-maintained databases.  We believe so strongly in the importance of this product that we include this search free of charge for any and all reports that include a criminal check so that our clients never have to ask or wonder if an applicant is a registered sex offender.

Social Security Number Validation

A social security number is a key personal identifier that is used throughout the screening process.  It is imperative that we ensure the number is valid and issued after the applicant's date of birth.  To do this, the issuing state and validity of the number is verified through formulas provided by the Social Security Administration.

Driver's License Validation

A driver;s license numbers act as another identifier to ensure that the applicant is the person they claim to be.  In fact, some states incorporate first and last names and date of birth into the driver's license number. 

Some states offer the ability to check the validity of a driver's license number without obtaining a Motor Vehicle Report (MVR).  For applicants living in these states, we automatically include this service for our clients in most reports.  However, there are some states that require a full MVR in order to validate a driver's license number.  An MVR is available for an additional fee.
