What is a Civil Record and who needs it?

A civil records search will identify suits filed by individuals or corporations, including product liability suits, civil rights violations and judgment for non-payment of goods, as well as litigation related to divorce, marriage and child custody. Civil records are retrieved from local courts by our nationwide network of court researchers.

In many cases, civil records will be included in a consumer credit report. Any civil records discovered within the credit report should be re-verified in order to comply with FCRA.

Turnaround Time: varies by court but usually 2-3 days.
