Federal Criminal Records Search
How Does Federal Criminal Records Search Work?
Federal Criminal Records Searches are created when specifically ordered by the client. Federal Criminal Records Search benefits clients who are looking to search all federal district courts with results provided in a consolidated report. The search is processed by searching the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) federal index. HireRight requires an applicant’s first name, middle name or initial, and last name to run a search. Additional identifiers such as previous employment and past addresses are helpful in confirming or eliminating records as federal records historically have limited identifiers within their case details. Case files associated with search results are reviewed to find as many identifiers as possible, which HireRight then uses to determine if a case is a match to the applicant prior to reporting.
