Federal crimes are offenses that breach U.S. federal laws and are distinct in how they are handled within the judicial system:
- Federal law enforcement agencies investigate these crimes.
- United States attorneys prosecute in federal courts presided over by federal judges.
- The scope of federal crimes includes unique federal offenses and those that might fall under state or local jurisdiction if not committed on federal property or an Indian reservation.
Screening Process:
Our unique software meticulously reviews these records to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information provided. The standard turnaround time for these checks is 24 hours, allowing for swift and efficient verification processes.
Sources of Federal Crimes Data:
The list of federal crimes used in our screenings is primarily compiled from Title 18 and Title 26 of the United States Code, among other sections. While extensive, this list is not exhaustive but serves as a valuable resource for background screenings.
Civil Records Search:
Authenticate retrieves all available federal civil and criminal records regarding the individual being screened. This comprehensive approach aids businesses in making well-informed decisions about potential associations.
Turn Around Time:
The report is generated within 24 hours in most cases; in unusual cases, reports might take up to 2-3 days.
