  • Next choose the search option or “Package” that you wish to order.


Fill Out Subject’s Information

  • Up to 2 AKA names can be added.  If you need additional names searched, a new background check order must be entered.
  • When done, click “Begin Order” to move to the next step.


Verify Information

  • A pop up box appears to allow you verify the information you entered prior to moving on to the next step.
  • Please read over this carefully as you will not be able to edit it past this point.
  • Click Confirm and Continue to move to the next step.

Additional Options

  • Read and agree to the Terms of Agreement then select Verify Form to move to the next step.

Additional Options – Secure Volunteer

  • If your account utilizes Secure Volunteer or Secure Applicant, and you choose a package that is associated with that product, you will be given the option to make this a Secure Volunteer/Secure Applicant order.
