Our Federal Criminal Search services provide access to official records from U.S. District Courts across the United States.

Retrieved case information helps organizations strengthen background screening processes by adding visibility into federal-level criminal activity.

The Value of Federal Criminal Searches in Background Screening

A Federal Criminal Search provides access to criminal case records filed in U.S. District Courts, covering offenses prosecuted at the federal level rather than through state or county court systems. There are 94 U.S. District Courts across the United States, with each state hosting at least one federal district court.
