Frequently Asked Questions.

How is your background check different from online services?

Online services aggregate public-record databases — they don’t verify, cross-reference, or interpret. We pull primary records directly from SC courts and authorities, verify employment and education in person where needed, and produce detailed reports a working investigator stands behind.

Are your employment background checks FCRA-compliant?

Yes. When conducted for employment screening, our background reports follow Fair Credit Reporting Act requirements including pre-screening disclosure, written authorization, and adverse-action procedures.

How long does a background check take?

Standard background checks complete within 24–48 hours. Complex international or multi-jurisdictional investigations take longer; we provide a realistic timeline at intake.

Can you locate someone with only partial information?

Often, yes. With a name and approximate location, we can frequently locate subjects through database research and skip-tracing. Full name and DOB significantly speed and cheapen the process.

Do you handle international background checks?

Yes — through our partner network. International investigations require additional time and coordination; we provide quotes after assessing case specifics.
