What is My Background Search?
My Background Search is a comprehensive online tool that scans billions of public records to reveal information about your background. Our service provides insight into what employers, landlords, and others might find about you, including criminal records, address history, employment verification, financial records, social media presence, and more.
How does My Background Search work?
Our service works in three simple steps: First, you enter your details (name, email). Then, our AI-powered system scans billions of public records from various databases. Finally, we compile all found information into a comprehensive report that you can access instantly. Our advanced technology searches through criminal records, address histories, employment records, financial information, and social media profiles to provide you with a complete picture of your publicly available information.
Why should I use My Background Search?
There are many reasons to use our service: (1) To see what potential employers can find about you during background checks, (2) To verify what information is publicly available about you online, (3) To discover outdated or incorrect information that might be affecting your opportunities, (4) To prepare for rental applications or job interviews, and (5) To understand what information is visible to others that you may not find on Google.
What types of records do you search?
Our comprehensive background search includes: criminal records (arrests, convictions, court records), address history, employment verification, financial records (liens, bankruptcies, judgments), social media presence analysis, personal information available online, property records (ownership, home values, mortgage information), and vehicle records (ownership history, registrations, licenses, traffic violations, accident reports).
How accurate is the information in my background report?
We strive to provide the most accurate information possible by using advanced AI technology to scan billions of public records from reliable sources. However, the accuracy of the information depends on the data available in public records. We recommend reviewing your report carefully and contacting us if you find any discrepancies. Our reports reflect what is publicly available, which is valuable in understanding what others might find about you.
How long does it take to get my background report?
Our advanced AI-powered search engine works quickly to compile your background report. In most cases, you'll receive instant access to your basic report. More comprehensive data may take a few minutes to compile. The entire process is designed to be efficient while maintaining accuracy and thoroughness.

Can I remove my information from your database?
My Background Search aggregates information from existing public records; we don't create new records. If you wish to remove or update incorrect information, you'll need to address it at the source (court records, credit bureaus, etc.). However, we can help guide you through the process of identifying where corrections need to be made and provide information on how to contact the relevant agencies. Please contact our support team for assistance with this process.
What's included in my background report?
Your comprehensive background report may include: personal information (name variations, date of birth, etc.), current and previous addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, criminal records, traffic violations, property records, financial information (bankruptcies, liens, judgments), professional licenses, education verification, employment history, social media profiles, and other public records associated with your name. The exact information included depends on what's available in public records.
Can I use this report for employment screening?
No, My Background Search reports are not FCRA-compliant and should not be used for employment screening, tenant screening, credit or insurance eligibility, or other purposes regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Our service is designed for personal use only—to help you understand what information about you is publicly available. For official background checks, please consult with an FCRA-compliant consumer reporting agency.
What if I find incorrect information in my report?
If you discover incorrect information in your report, we recommend first verifying the source of that information. Our reports draw from public records, so corrections typically need to be made at the source. Contact the relevant agency (court, DMV, credit bureau, etc.) to correct the information. Our customer support team can provide guidance on the correction process for different types of records. We're committed to helping you maintain accurate public records.
Can I access my report on mobile devices?
Yes, My Background Search is fully mobile-responsive. You can access and view your background report on any device including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktop computers. Our platform is designed to provide a seamless experience regardless of the device you're using, with optimized viewing for different screen sizes.
How long do I have access to my report?
Access to your background report depends on the specific plan you choose. We offer options ranging from one-time reports to ongoing monthly access. With our premium plans, you can receive regular updates and monitoring of your background information. Check your account settings or contact customer support for details about your specific access period and options for extending it.
Can I download or print my report?
Yes, all our background reports come with options to download as PDF or print directly from your account dashboard. This feature allows you to keep offline copies for your records or to share with others as needed. The downloaded reports contain all the same information as the online version and are formatted for easy reading and reference.
