Gap Coverage Request (GCR) Form
WHY?
It is widely known that database searches have inherent gaps in coverage throughout the US. Although some counties/states have numerous points of criminal record data, there are still many that do not report sufficient data, or for that matter any data at all into the database (such as felony/misdemeanor convictions). These are known as non-reporting counties/states. Additionally, federal convictions are not reported into a national database. Due diligence requires a more thorough search to be certain your applicant does not have a relevant criminal history. Looking at each applicant holistically is key to a thorough background check (i.e. multiple names, multiple addresses vs. one name, one address).
WHAT?
Our multi-state, multi-jurisdiction search has tremendous value in the overall screening process but should not be a standalone service in order to be compliant. We strongly suggest a thorough analysis of each applicant’s unique history of residences and known names for the past 7 years. Our best practice recommendation is to order a county courthouse search of each known name and residence for the past 7 years, as well as a national federal search for all names for the past 7 years. It is possible that a state may have a statewide search that is thorough and encompasses all counties within the state and can be used in lieu of a county search. So, there are two options that SecureSearch may use 1) County Courthouse search or 2) Statewide (all counties) Search.
HOW?
By utilizing the name and address history portion of our database search, SecureSearch can easily ascertain where an applicant has lived and what name they were using at that time. Based upon the “business rule” set forth below, SecureSearch will carry out the due diligence requested by our Customer. All fees (service costs and applicable surcharges) associated with these additional searches will be the responsibility of the Customer.
