We process screening applications daily and once yours is received we will review it to ensure it is complete and accurate and email you as soon as your account is ready to go.
Note: The cost or ordering reports may vary depending on which reports are selected. There are actually hundreds of reports available (because you can order a criminal report for each county). When you are on the ordering page, select which reports you would like and the pricing for each report is displayed on the order screen next to each report.
