How do I get a background check on someone?
How does Silvershield get your background report?
For criminal background checks, we have access to databases used by federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. However, certain restrictions apply. For instance, when searching for outstanding warrants, we provide limited results—typically the contact name, phone number, and jurisdiction where the warrant exists. Non-criminal background checks allow more detailed reporting.
Rest assured that we adhere to legal guidelines, ensuring you receive the maximum allowable information. Additionally, our company background investigations include detailed business credit reports, helping you assess credit risk and overall financial strength of the company.
We provide these services for employers, attorneys and individuals.
