When combined with a comprehensive on-site county criminal search, a national criminal database search with alias broadens the search for criminal records to the national level, further supporting due diligence efforts and assisting employers in making informed and confident hiring decisions.

By searching offense records from around the country using an Applicant’s name and all known aliases, this search can uncover offenses in states and counties not identified in an Applicant’s Social Security Number trace or Credit History Report.

Further, when offense records are located through a national criminal database search, Mega Group audits and investigates the findings by conducting an on-site country criminal record search in the county where the record has been located, ensuring both accuracy and proper reporting.

While it does extend the geographical area being searched for potential criminal offenses to the national level, this search should not replace comprehensive, on-site county criminal searches conducted in counties of Applicant’s residence and employment, but rather should act as a supplement to them.
