What if the applicant has been divorced or remarried and has gone by different last names?
As criminal records are listed by name and in most cases, a date of birth, it is extremely important we search by the correct spelling of the name. If the person have gone by a married or maiden name, it would be good practice to search both names for possible criminal records under each name. This is important for employment verifications also when they have worked under a different name. The Judgments, Bankruptcies and Liens are also searched by name. We can verify a partial match to the SSN and possibly their address. However, these records may be listed under another name they have used.
