Criminal Background Checks

DMV & Driving Records - Police & Court Records

When you contract Quick Background Checks to do criminal background checks for you, you can be sure that we'll take a comprehensive approach. A criminal background check doesn't just involve trolling through police records. While police reports do provide a gold mine of information, they don't tell the whole story. Police reports are filed for a number of reasons and detail incidents such as traffic accidents, arrests, domestic disputes, theft, fraud, stalkings and other acts of violence (among others). Most police records are open to the public, and searches are most easily conducted by first and last names, dates of birth, addresses and license plate numbers. Court records provide another piece of the puzzle.

Most of these records are also publicly available. You can request dockets for criminal, traffic and civil cases from respective state and circuit courts. Many court documents have even been categorized and archived in online automated case management systems. You can inquire after case records by public court docket entries, parties, judgments and charges. Only those cases that have been deemed public will appear in such systems. QBC also taps into DMV records.

Typically, employers hire us to trace documentation of a potential employee's driving record. This is usually most crucial when pre-employment screening is neded for vehicle operating positions in transportation, trucking and construction.
