WHY IT'S BETTER
Certain crimes are prosecuted exclusively in federal courts and will never appear in state or county criminal searches, making federal searches essential for complete criminal coverage of serious offenses.
Searches query United States District Court records where serious offenses like fraud, embezzlement, trafficking, and interstate crimes are prosecuted under federal jurisdiction rather than in state court systems.
Federal offense visibility captures the prosecutions that state only screening completely misses, ensuring background checks cover crimes regardless of which court system handled them.
Potential matches are reviewed to confirm identity before any federal conviction is reported, with verification preventing false positives that occur when multiple people share similar names in federal court records.
Federal searches complement rather than replace state and county criminal searches, creating the comprehensive coverage that captures offenses regardless of which court system prosecuted them.
