Three Questions to Think About

Volunteer Screening Best Practices & Best Value



Origin

Cursory Indicator New York

Sex Offender Registry

Origin



Origin A multidimensional inquiry that

combines our Multijurisdictional Criminal inquiry and our SSN & Address Information inquiry. All aliases revealed are also searched.

We report the state and the approximate date that the SSN was issued and run the SSN through the Social Security Administration’s Death Master File.

Next, we run the SSN trace to obtain a list of alias names, including maiden names.

Then use this information to make a final pass through our Multijurisdictional Criminal inquiry instant database on the primary name supplied and all aliases revealed in the SSN & Address Information.
