Service — Backgrounds

Not a database check. An investigation.

The background check that goes far beyond the standard.

Coverage

Every dimension of a subject's history.

Criminal, civil & arrest records
Criminal history, arrest records, warrants, traffic citations, and civil court filings — sourced and verified across all available jurisdictions.
Real estate & property
Current and historical property holdings, deeds, transfers, and ownership structures — across all 50 states.
Vehicles, vessels and aircraft
Registered automobiles, boats, and aircraft tied to individuals or entities.
Shell companies & strategic structures
Corporate filings, beneficial ownership, and entity structures designed to obscure true asset holders.
Relationships, connections & interests
Important connections, political donations and exposure, licenses and affiliations — and more our technology can surface.

Methodology

Multi-source intelligence
Every report draws from multiple databases — not a single feed. Results are cross-referenced and deconflicted across every source to surface verified findings.
Analyst verification
Veteran and LEO investigators review every report before delivery. No unverified data, no false positives, no ambiguous matches.
Lead pursuit
When findings surface additional threads — corporate shells, associate connections, property transfers — our analysts follow them. Standard database checks stop at the data. We don't.
CLOSINT-first approach
We start with premium, non-public data sources to build a verified foundation — then layer open-source intelligence on top for completeness.
90% faster delivery
Sorting, comparing, and deconfliction happen at scale — so analysts can focus on verification and judgment. The result: comprehensive reports in a fraction of the standard timeline.

Use Cases

Understand the full history of opposing parties, witnesses, or persons of interest before entering a courtroom.
Pre-transaction diligence
Vet counterparties, partners, or key principals before a deal closes.
Risk & compliance
Screen individuals and entities against criminal, civil, and financial records to satisfy compliance requirements.
Family law & custody
Uncover relevant history — criminal records, financial standing, property ownership — to support custody, support, and divorce proceedings.

That's the power of OnTrial.
