Recommended basic package: $35.00
This package consists of a Social Security trace to identify any counties a subject may have resided nationwide for the past 7 years (FCRA compliant), a nationwide Sex Offender search as well as a Criminal hand check of one particular county. Criminal hand checks are crucial to avoid liability; internet based checks are not reliable for this search.

Rates for additional counties are listed below.

Note: We will only receive a response to the Terrorist watch list and Wanted persons searches, if there is a possible connection to the candidate; this will be a phone inquiry to SMGI. For all hand searches, we send a representative to the actual county court to search for records that may be related to your candidate. If a record is located, there would be additional fees to order and obtain copies from the court. These fees can vary depending on file size and specific court fees.
