"Most background check companies don't publish their prices. When you factor in pass-through fees at providers that do show pricing, your final bill often runs significantly higher than the listed rate. What you see on our pricing page is what you pay."

Compliance & Surcharges

How database searches & county fees work

National criminal searches pull from thousands of databases across the United States. When a match is found in these registers, it represents a pointer record—an indication that a criminal file may exist.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), background check companies cannot report database pointer matches as verified facts without confirming them at the local county courthouse. Surfacing unverified database matches violates federal compliance guidelines.

To maintain compliance and protect your candidates, CHCKED automatically verifys pointer matches directly with the county court clerk. The fees charged by these local jurisdictions are passed through to you at cost.

The Courthouse Verification Flow

01 · National Database Scan

Our platform scans millions of record registers to identify any potential matches. If the scan is clear, the report is finalized instantly.

02 · Pointer Match Detection

If a candidate has a potential match, the record is flagged internally as an unverified match. Under FCRA, we shield this unverified match from your reports.

03 · Local Courthouse Retrieval

Our retrieval network immediately contacts the local county clerk to request the physical case file. This ensures absolute accuracy and eliminates false positives.

04 · Verified Reporting & Cost Pass-Through

Once the physical file is verified, the record details are added to the report. Any local court-access fees charged by the jurisdiction are passed through to you at cost with zero markup.
