Identifies non-criminal lawsuits by or against a person or company. A civil record is a non-criminal dispute between two parties and can involve contract disputes, money, property, etc. Civil Searches are highly recommended to determine a person's character or to screen companies, contractors, potential business partners and outsourcing companies. The Civil Litigation Search is conducted directly at the county courts and is not available statewide. Please note that civil litigation searches are only matched by first name and last name by the courts. Rarely other identifiers are available. 

Additional county fees may apply. 

Results vary and may take 3-5 days.

Searches for Federal and State Tax Liens by county. 

Tax Lien searches are only conducted at the county level where they are filed by the State or Government for failure to pay taxes. Neither of these are filed at a state or federal level because they usually are a lien on a house or some kind of property. 

Results vary, but they are typically returned within 5 - 7 business days. Price is per search per county. Additional county fees may apply.

Our Federal District Court searches now are state specific based on the state that you choose when ordering. If a state contains more than one Federal District Court, then all of those courts will be searched. The criminal cases landing in the federal court are initiated by the federal government through the U.S. Attorney, in coordination with a federal law enforcement agency, and with the acceptance of the grand jury. 

These Courts do not include cases filed in county or state courts. Mail fraud, arson, interstate drug trafficking and the like are the types of cases stored in the Federal courthouses. Since this check searches the U.S. Federal District Court Master Name Index, if the individual whom you are requesting information on has a common name, this search may return numerous possible matches. This is a 7 year, name-match only search. 

We also still provide the ability to perform a nationwide Federal District Court search. This option allows you to search all Federal District Courts. If you require this nationwide coverage, please contact us.

Please allow 24-48 business hours for results. 

Nationwide search of bankruptcy records through the Federal Court Bankruptcy System. 

Turnaround is up to two business days from the day the search is ordered.
