How does Intelius conduct a criminal search?
Intelius conducts searches through as many direct sources as necessary to deliver quality information. When quality, direct sources are not available, Intelius contracts with court retrievers to visit the local or state agency to directly obtain information. Our searchers/court retrievers are randomly audited monthly and quarterly to insure both accuracy and reasonable turnaround times. Intelius requires that all researchers obtain felony and misdemeanor information from state-, county-, district- and municipal courts. County-Level Searches: Intelius conducts criminal record searches at the county-level for any jurisdictions in the United States wherein a state central repository does not exist or the repository has been determined to provide unreliable or inconsistent data results. Obtained information includes: 7-10 year histories for Felony and Misdemeanor convictions, deferred cases and pending cases are reported (where allowed by state law). Turnaround time ranges from 24-36 hours
