Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in a criminal background check?
A criminal background check may include nationwide database searches, county and state court record searches, federal criminal searches, sex offender registry checks, exclusion list searches, and an SSN trace. We can tailor a package to fit your needs.
How far back does a criminal background check go?
The lookback period depends on the type of search, the position, and applicable state or local laws. Our team helps clients apply the appropriate screening approach based on their hiring requirements.
What does an SSN trace do?
An SSN trace helps identify name variations, aliases, and address history associated with a candidate. This supports more accurate jurisdiction selection for criminal record searches.
Why are county criminal searches important?
County searches are often a key part of criminal background screening because many criminal records originate at the county court level. Since counties are often the original source of the record, they will have the most accurate and complete information on a case.
Do criminal background checks include federal crimes?
Yes – they can. Federal district court searches can identify offenses prosecuted at the federal level, which would not typically appear in county court searches. Talk to our Solutions Team today to add federal criminal searches to your reports.
What are OIG (Office of Inspector General) and SAM (System for Award Management) exclusion checks?
These searches help identify individuals who may be excluded from participation in federally funded healthcare programs or government-related contracting opportunities.
How quickly are results returned?
Turnaround times vary depending on the jurisdictions searched and court access, but Allied Screening prioritizes timely and reliable reporting. Our average report turn-around time is less than 24 hours.
Do you support regulated industries like home care and healthcare?
Yes. Allied Screening supports organizations in regulated and high-trust industries that require compliant, dependable screening services. Our Solutions Team will be glad to talk through any of your licensing needs.
