US Search.com allows online access to criminal records.(Company Business and Marketing)US SEARCH.com, a leading Internet provider of public record information, has announced a low-cost, nationwide access to county criminal conviction records through a new online search service. Although conviction records are public information, this new service provides consumers and small business owners with direct access to ordering records online for counties nationwide. The new Criminal Record Search allows the public to better safeguard their interests by determining if an individual has any criminal convictions in a specified county. Most searches cost either $25 or $45, depending on the source information that is provided, making them affordable for consumers or small and midsize businesses. "We'd all feel a little better knowing that the people we trust with our property don't have major criminal records. While this information is publicly available and most people are prudent, it's also been expensive or time-consuming to get. In effect, with a simple click of the mouse, US Search.com now stands in line for the customer to research convictions from almost any courthouse nationwide," said C. Nicholas Keating, US Search.com president and CEO. Previously, conviction reports were generally acquired by traveling to the courthouse of the specified county or hiring a research firm that typically charges much higher fees. The US Search.com product can be used to improve personal security because it eliminates these obstacles with searches that are affordable and that can be ordered directly over the Internet or by phone. "Our new service enables consumers and businesses to better protect themselves with a minimal investment in time and money," Keating said. The search is currently available over the Internet at www.1800ussearch.com or by calling the company toll free at 1-800-US Search. Customers provide a name, address, and approximate age with search results typically delivered in 2-3 business days. In providing the service, US Search.com uses an onsite agent, then leverages the company's experience as a leading provider of "people find" technology to reduce delivery costs. The information may not be used for employment screening purposes and the availability of criminal records is limited to certain counties. Federal court convictions are not included in county records and, within certain counties, convictions in some city jurisdictions are not included in county records. US Search.com is a leading provider of Internet-based public record information and is headquartered in Beverly Hills, California. US Search.com provides individual, corporate, and professional clients with a quick, easy, and inexpensive access point to a broad range of information products. US Search.com services can be accessed at any time from any computer connected to the Internet by visiting the corporate Web site at www.ussearch.com. COPYRIGHT 2000 Information Today, Inc.
