Alabama Fingerprint Solutions now offers professional name-based background check services for individuals and businesses.

Our Latest Addition: Name-Based Background Check Services

At Alabama Fingerprint Solutions, we continue to expand our offerings to meet the diverse screening needs of Alabama businesses, employers, landlords, and organizations. We’re pleased to introduce enhanced name-based background check services through our partnership with National Crime Search (NCS). These services complement our core LiveScan fingerprinting solutions for faster, more flexible options.

What Are Name-Based Background Checks?

Name-based (non-fingerprint) background checks rely on an individual’s name, date of birth, Social Security Number (SSN), and other identifiers to search criminal databases, public records, and other sources. They provide quick results without requiring an in-person fingerprinting appointment, making them ideal for:

  • Preliminary employee screening
  • Tenant background checks
  • Volunteer vetting
  • Healthcare staffing
  • Initial due diligence

For the most thorough and accurate results, we still recommend our FBI background checks, FDLE services, and other fingerprint-based solutions. Name-based checks serve as an efficient starting point or supplement.

National Crime Search brings over 20 years of experience serving more than 20,000 customers nationwide. Available services include:

  • Multi-State & Single-State Criminal Searches
  • County Criminal History Searches (detailed manual courthouse reviews, typically 7-year scope)
  • National Sex Offender Registry (NSOPW) Searches
  • SSN Trace / Social Security Validation (address history and aliases)
  • Motor Vehicle Reports (MVR)
  • Employment & Education Verifications
  • Social Media Searches
  • Tenant Screening Packages (including credit reports)
  • Healthcare Screening (Medical packages, OIG/GSA exclusions, license verifications)
  • Featured Packages: Essential, Enhanced, and Expanded bundles with add-ons

No account setup fees or monthly minimums on most services. Many results are available instantly or within minutes; county searches typically return in a few business days.
