Free Background Search

Various websites offer simple background searches for free. However, these free background searches are restricted by many terms and conditions, and normally do not come up with satisfactorily results, unless a particular background search product of the website is offered \'free\' with another product of the website.

The free background checks on the various websites are not confidential. The results send an e-mail instantly to the subject to be checked, and when they give their consent, the results are sent via e-mail.

Therefore, for a confidential background check, paid checks are always suggested.

A free background search is a very important and easy-to-use feature. Sometimes it can tell a good deal about people we think we know thoroughly. Free background searches are very useful to learn minor details about individuals, which aren\'t worth the hassles and expense of a proper background search.

A properly done free background search can tell one whether their would-be employees are lying about their college degrees, whether \'the right one\' is really the one, or whether one can leave their children safely alone in the house, with the next-door neighbors present all the time.

Some facts about individuals which are open to public knowledge are name, address, telephone number, a person\'s age, the validity of a person\'s social security number, criminal history for offenses like driving under the influence, personal credit reports, academic history and professional licenses.

Many of the above facts can be accessed through various websites, or through phone calls to various government departments.

Finally, a vital records search should be an integral part of any background search taken personally. A vital records search will include birth and death certificates, marriage certificates and divorce decrees.

These documents can also help one find the relatives of the individual, who can be helpful for further background searches.
