Gov-Resources is a self-service online public background check website. You can search any public record you are looking for through this website, allowing you to find information about friends, family, neighbors, potential dates, acquaintances, and fellow employees. You will also be able to access the following records: death, marriage, sex offender, civil, census, bankruptcy, and criminal.

To do a search on this website, you must choose a membership plan, which provides you instant access to professional investigative databases and resources. However, this page of the Gov-Resources website is a little strange as there is a creepy cartoon guy who talks to you and watches you as you work. Membership plans start at $29.95 for a one year basic plan (with 10 premium search credits), $34.95 for a two year standard plan (with 15 premium search credits), or $39.95 for the V.I.P. unlimited investigation plan (with 25 premium search credits).

The website is easy to navigate and claims to have records and information that cannot be found anywhere else. The list of searches available is quite extensive once you buy a membership. Gov-Resources is a quality background check website; however, it is not as impressive as our top-rated service.

 

 

Net Detective is an easy-to-use website that allows you to search millions of records, so you can find people, run background checks, and so on. Membership costs $29.00 for one year of unlimited searches.

Net Detective is less expensive than other background check websites, but they only offer one-year memberships. If you are looking for a more long-term solution, we recommend one of the higher-rated services.

 

 

Intelius is a website that enables you to find people. You can search by phone number, search criminal records, and get background, property, and area information. It also offers business services such as employee and tenant screening, DMV driving records, and batch and lead generation.

The various services offered by Intelius generate different types of reports and, therefore, have different price ranges. If you want to do a people search, you can simply enter someone's name and state (and last known address if you have it), and the website will search out matches. It will give you a list of people that match your search, their age, and their known relatives. Then you have the option to buy the type of report on that person that is most helpful to you:

• $7.95 for a one-time search report on that person.

• $19.95 for a 24-hour pass where you will have unlimited search report access for that person available to you.

• $49.95 for a background report on the person you searched.

Please note that these are not membership fees. These are one-time report fees. If you want information about a different person, you will have to pay the fee again to view a background report(s) for that person.

Intelius does give you the chance to see samples of the reports before you pay (not a sample of the report for the person you researched, but a sample of what the report will look like). This is a simple, self-explanatory website that is what it is - a website to run background checks on people and not a lot more. Intelius costs more than other websites we reviewed, and they offer a limited service. Therefore, if you are looking for a more extensive investigative resource, you might try one of the higher-rated selections.

 

 

Background Searcher offers a comprehensive website where you can find information on almost anyone. They charge a one-time fee of $19.95, which gives you instant access to their list of links for search websites. As a member of Background Searcher, you gain unlimited access to all of their investigative databases, resources, and search websites for state, federal, and local government public records. Additional resources are available for a fee.

Background Searcher does not offer background checks on a specific person. The website offers you a collection of links to public records where you can do your own search. These other links might be fee based or they might be free. So, you will pay $19.95 to gain access to their links, and then you will be responsible for any additional fees you incur from these other websites.

Background Searcher offers personal and business searches. You can search the database and find out if someone has been married before, declared bankruptcy, filed for divorce, been arrested, or been sued. Again, you will do all the work to find someone; this website will only give you links to public records. Some of the records include child support records, court records, credit reports, criminal files, death records, DMV records, warrant files, and so on. You also have the ability to search business records.

Background Searcher does not seem to be as thorough as some of the other websites we reviewed. Additionally, you will be responsible for all of the fees charged by the other websites Background Searcher links you to. Therefore, we recommend one of the higher-rated services.

 

 

US Search offers a variety of search options. The website is easy to use and straight forward. As long as you know the person's name, city, state, and age, you can start your background search.

The price breakdown depends on the type of report you would like to get. For $39.95, you can get a background report including bankruptcy information and criminal/civil lawsuits. For $59.95, you can get you an advanced search that includes complete details from the website's network of public record databases. For $99.95, you can get an expert-assisted background report that includes everything you get from the advanced search plus a nationwide criminal search. For $129.99, you can get an expert-assisted background search plus onsite civil lawsuit searches and a free nationwide media search. Finally, for $295.00, you can get a due diligence with criminal background search (the most comprehensive option). All of the prices seem to be on a per person search basis, so these are not membership fees that will allow you to return to the website for multiple searches.

US Search allows you to see sample search reports before paying. This is helpful since the prices seem to be quite a bit higher than other websites we reviewed. Based on the exorbitant prices US Search charges, we recommend one of the higher-rated services.
