Today's ministries must increasingly deal with the potential liability of both paid and volunteer staff members, either from problem situations to criminal conduct. In many states laws are being passed requiring complete background checks for any individual that works directly with children. Additionally, most insurance companies are now requiring background checks for certain staff positions to maintain liability insurance.

iTerion Ministry Services provides the following background checking services. All services require a written consent form from the individual. We can provide this form and suggest the best background check for your situation. Contact us today.

Employment and Personal Reference Check

Most problems with new hires could be avoided by a thorough reference check. iMinistry^SM offers our specialized reference checking service that will review and document each reference the individual provides.

Education Check

Statements as to educational background and achievement are verified for the individual.

General Comprehensive Background Report

This is our most comprehensive and popular report. Run this search to gain as much information as possible about the individual (except criminal history) based on their available Public Records.

Results may include –

Current and Previous Addresses (past 7 years), Current and Previous Listed Phone Numbers, Family Members, Other people residing at same address, Neighbors and their listed phone numbers, Spouse’s Name (if married in CA, CO, ME, NV & TX only and current address is in the same state), Property Ownership at current address, Property value of current residence, Bankruptcies, Liens, Tax liens, Small Claims, Civil Judgments

Nationwide Criminal Background Check

Not sure where to go to find out if someone has a criminal past? This background check accesses records in 45 states and tells you if a person has a criminal record. This is a good overview check but is not as thorough as the State and County Criminal Report.

Results may include, if applicable –

Case number and charge, Offense, arrest, file, and disposition date, Disposition & sentence

State Criminal Search

This report provides a search of an individual’s criminal record by state. This is a good overview check but is not as thorough and complete State and County Criminal Report.

Results may include, if applicable –

Case number and charge, Offense, arrest, file, and disposition date, Disposition & sentence

Criminal Record Report by County

The most accurate criminal search: each county's courthouse is checked for a record. Choose this report if you know each county the person lived within or where the crime was, or may have been, committed. You should check each possible county to ensure complete coverage.

Results may include (for previous 7 years) –

Upper Level (Felony) and Lower Level (Misdemeanor) convictions only, Defendant Name, Case Number, File Date, Charges and Disposition or Current Status

 

Criminal Record Report by State

This report is the best way to check the entire state. However, not all counties report crime to the central state database, so this search is less accurate than the Criminal Record Report by County. Choose this report in conjunction with the County reports to double check that no possible crimes have been overlooked.

Results may include (for the previous 5-7 years) –

Felony Convictions, Misdemeanors, Defendant, Physical Description, Arrest Date, Arresting Agency, Case Number, Charges and Disposition

**All reports are not available in all states. Some states require Social Security Number to conduct searches and/or that a copy of the report be forwarded to the subject.
