Common role packages

Pick a role to see what’s inside — and why.

These are starting points. Your actual cost depends on the candidate: how many names they’ve used, how many counties they’ve lived in, and what the role requires. A warehouse hire with one name and one county starts at $29.50; the same role with three counties and an alias costs more. Your Client Advocate walks through every scenario with you at no charge.

* Court access fees not included. Prices shown are base search costs only.

SecureSearch has been wonderful to work with over the years. The results come back quickly, the customer service team is super responsive — whether it’s clarification on a result, invoicing, or retrieving something from the archives. They are top notch and I would highly recommend their services to other employers and HR professionals who need reliable fact checking.
