Why am I being charged a county-level verification fee for my basic search?

Question

Why am I seeing a county-level verification fee on a basic search?

Answer

Once a potential record is identified in the National Criminal Database, Checkr automatically performs a County Level Verification. This means that Checkr conducts research at the county where the national criminal search shows a possible record.

The research includes:

• Additional identifiers to confirm it belongs to the individual in question
• Complete and up-to-date case information (e.g., disposition, status)

A county-level verification fee is the report upgrade charge.
