Our CRA can conduct court records searches, employment verification and education confirmation in many countries throughout the world. Availability, turnaround time and cost vary significantly based on the country. For specific information regarding international searches, please contact our office.

Court Records

Criminal and civil court records are available in most countries. Turnaround time is usually a few days to a few weeks. Local, regional and/or national courts may be accessed for information. Due to privacy laws in other countries, a copy of the applicant’s signed release may be required.

Verifications & References

Verification of international employment and education are becoming more common as applicants choose to immigrate to the United States. Our international verification service utilizes highly trained researchers that operate 24 hours a day. Translators are available when necessary, and calls are made at appropriate times depending on time zone. In addition, applicants’ personally identifiable information (PII) is never outsourced to overseas researchers except in extreme circumstances. Due to privacy laws in other countries, a copy of the applicant’s signed release, as well as other documentation, may be required.
