IntelliCorp understands your sense of urgency to make decisions regarding employees and volunteers. Our standard turnaround time is 3-5 business days. However, turnaround times for background checks can vary greatly depending on a number of factors that are beyond our control. Reasons for search delays can include:
• County court closures, holidays, policies, furloughs, budget constraints
• County court staffing issues and outdated record keeping methods
• Clerk controlled county court records
• Education and employment verification sources (slow response time, policies)
• Weather delays, natural disasters
• Inaccurate/incomplete subject information or additional identifiers needed
• Common names/multiple records for the same subject
While IntelliCorp’s goal is to return the results back to you as quickly as possible, we do not sacrifice our commitment to quality. We verify at the source of the data to bring you additional value and increased assurance when making hiring and recruiting decisions.

What is the difference between a Federal Criminal Search and a Statewide Criminal Search?IntelliCorp - Searches

The Federal Criminal Search provides a detailed report on criminal cases prosecuted at the federal district court level. All federal criminal record searches are name match only, entering a full middle name, or alternately, a middle initial is essential to processing this search correctly. The Statewide Criminal Search provides online access to public criminal records from each state. Search results generally include felony, misdemeanor, and/or traffic case information. Each state's case information will also vary upon years of coverage.

What is a single county search?IntelliCorp - Searches

A single county search looks for records held solely at the county level. Not conducting single county searches increases the chances of missing information on an applicant and exposes businesses and organizations to many types of risk that could be costly. Additionally, database searches do not contain all criminal record information for every individual across the country, and it is imperative to check each identified source to obtain a comprehensive picture of an applicant. IntelliCorp’s background check process automatically incorporates all single county recommendations where a subject has lived (either within the last seven or throughout their address history, depending on your package), based on a Social Security number trace. As a result, should subject information be identified that is not covered in our database (Criminal SuperSearch) any single county recommendations will be completed. This helps to ensure we have the most recent and accurate information on the subject prior to sending a report back to you. The report provides criminal records held at the county level. Reports generally include felony and/or misdemeanor records, and contain all case information that is available, including defendant information (defendant name, DOB, and address); case information (case number, filed date, disposition, disposition date, and sentence); and criminal charge information (statute section, offense description, and charge disposition). The industry standard for a single county criminal record search is 7 years, although older information may be returned if available from the record source.
