Automate your criminal coverage with Gap Coverage Request (GCR)
Set it once for your whole account. Our compliance team automatically adds every appropriate county, state, and federal criminal search for each candidate based on their address history and alias names. No manual county lookups, ever.
Most employers choose Best Practice (Option 1) for both sections — the most complete and most defensible coverage. Verifications, drug testing, driving records, and credit reports are added per order or via a custom package.
Wire fraud, embezzlement, espionage — only visible in federal courts.
GCR applies to criminal searches only. Fees scale with address history and alias names found. Court access surcharges apply in some jurisdictions.
