      7 Year Criminal Activity Check

      Comprehensive 7-Year Criminal Report by Authenticate®: Assess Risk with Detailed Background Checks.

      The 7 Year Criminal Activity Check offered by Authenticate® provides businesses with a comprehensive view of an individual's criminal history over the last seven years, leveraging both public records and commercially available data. This report is essential for assessing potential risks and facilitating informed decision-making.

      How It Works:

      Authenticate® aggregates criminal data from various U.S. states, including all available criminal records and sex offender convictions. The results encompass many data points, offering instant turnaround times for businesses seeking immediate insights.

      However, users should note that the data collected can sometimes be prone to errors due to data entry or processing issues. It's crucial for users to independently verify any critical information before making decisions based on this report.

      Furthermore, the data may include records expunged, sealed, or otherwise inaccessible to the public since their last update.
