Online back ground check


Introduction

Background check services are online tools that you can use to get information about a particular person. With just some important information such as their name, their address, and their contact numbers, you can easily trace the whereabouts of a person or keep up with their current events. Keep in mind that the whole process is entirely legal and is no way an invasion of privacy. This is advised to be used by people who want to reconnect with friends and family members who they’ve lost contact with. Aside from this, it can also be useful for verifying information about a specific person.

Why would you need a background check service?

Background check services are certainly not necessary. After all, a lot of people nowadays have social media accounts where we can see their basic information. However, not all people post complete information here and some only use it for chatting and browsing the internet. Because of this it may be an unreliable source of info. With background check services, users can have access to very important information that is not usually disclosed in social media accounts such as marriage records, addresses, criminal records and the likes. The best part is that the person being searched for information will not be notified about this. 

Our first choice - TruthFinder

TruthFinder is the best choice for our website. This is mainly because of its very accurate reports that we have confirmed ourselves upon testing. It is very easy to use even for beginner users who do not have any idea on how to use one. This is made possible by its easy interface where users can go from typing basic information about the person up to the payment process and the creation of the data report. The information was summarized in a clean and precise manner. It was also very recent and trustworthy. 

The only downside with the service was the longer time in generating reports. We are more forgiving of this, though, because it seemed to be better for the results that we were able to generate. Another downside of the service as there was no option of buying a single report.  Instead, users are required to purchase an entire subscription even though they may not use the additional reports. Still, this would be good for those who are planning to do multiple searches. 

The service is based in California and was launched in 2015. It currently has a score of A+ in the Better Business Bureau which shows that customers trust the brand.

Our second choice - Instant Checkmate

Instant Checkmate is another amazing option for users. It is based in the United States and has been around since 2010. As of 2021, they have performed more than 1.3 billion searches which shows that they have experience in the background check business.

What makes Instant Checkmate a good option is the flexibility in terms of getting a report. Currently, they have two options for reports. First is the standard report that can be used to get basic information about someone. This includes some criminal records, their government licenses, their profiles in social media, contact numbers, and more. You can get unlimited standard reports which makes getting information very easy. The second option is the Premium Report which allows you to have deeper information such as corporate affiliations, civil judgements, professional licenses, email addresses, and more. These are more advised for those who want a very detailed background check about a person.

The service goes the extra mile by offering the social media pictures of the person for you to easily verify the information. You can also get a link to their social media accounts to make it easier to reconnect with them.

Our third choice - Verispy

Verispy is another reliable service. They are based in Massachusetts. They pride in creating over 8 million background searches so far. Included in the information that you can check through their website is marriage and divorce records, email and phone numbers, and more. Upon testing, they have accurate results that are always updated. They even offer a free monthly background check which is a good feature for those who are on a tight budget.

The best part about the service is their very transparent pricing plans which tends to be difficult to find for this type of service. With them, the users’ subscriptions are automatically cancelled by the end of their subscription which means that they will not be charged in case they forget to cancel the service. Users can also ask for a refund in case they cancel their plan within 8 weeks which is plenty of time for you to be familiar with the service first. Their representatives are fast to respond and are willing to help us in our case.

With Verispy, users can receive a full report within a minute of searching which is very convenient.

Conclusion

Background check service is an online website that can gather information such as contact numbers, e-mail addresses, social media accounts, and more which is mostly accurate because of its use of publicly available information provided by the government. Our best choices include TruthFinder, Instant Checkmate, and Verispy.
