Criminal Reports FAQ

How can criminal histories help my business?
A criminal background check on an applicant or employee ensures your company is demonstrating due diligence in its hiring practices. Criminal background information can also allow you to avoid costly hiring mistakes, reducing recruiting time and dollars, to help you hire the best employees.

Explain your pricing.
Pricing for each report is noted in the above table. In addition, individual pricing for Single-County and State Criminal searches is displayed in ExpressNet. With iiX, each report can be ordered separately - you are not forced to choose expensive pre-packaged services. In addition, the reports are invoiced monthly just as MVRs are - you can submit payment for all types of reports easily, from one invoice. Contact a Sales representative for detailed pricing information and product availability.

What information is required to request criminal histories?
Last name, first name, date of birth, and Social Security Number are required to request criminal histories. Last name, first name and Social Security Number are required to use the SSN verification product. iiX recommends using SSN verification prior to ordering criminal reports, to help identify the states and counties where an individual has lived.

How are the report turnaround times determined?
Turnaround times vary depending on the state the reports are from. Currently, 30 states offer instant access, 15 offer same-day services, and five states provide results with varying turnaround. Single-county criminal searches generally take longer because staff must physically visit the county courts to obtain accurate information.

Are signed release forms required prior to ordering criminal reports?
Yes, just as you are required to obtain written authorization from an employee or prospective employee prior to requesting an MVR, you must also obtain written permission before requesting criminal histories.
