What is included in a
Chubb Background Check:

  • Address History/Alias History

A search to identify prior addresses, aliases, and social security number, to ensure that it verifies the state and year of issuance. The SSN is verified with the Social Security Administration and other databases to provide insight into possible additional counties that might require further investigation.

Please note that Address/Alias history information is not recorded in the final report as it is not considered FCRA compliant material. However, this information is still used by XG to determine all jurisdictions and other aliases necessary to be searched

  • Civil Court Search – County Upper & Lower*

Based on the subject’s residential history, a civil records search is conducted in each county where the subject resided. Civil record results typically provide the case type, the amount sought, and any disposition found. Civil recordings are typically classified by the amount of money sought by the plaintiff. Civil records typically do not contain a subject’s date of birth or social security number.

*Searches are performed by researchers dispatched to the court unless we are connected directly to the court’s records via the internet. Some records found may not contain complete identifiable information on the subject. Further investigations can be made available upon request to fully identify the subject of the record. Additional charges will apply.

  • Media Search (1-hour search)

Social media findings are located based on the information provided by the subject/entity or client, as well as through targeted keyword searches, algorithms, and public and private database searches. These methods are designed to locate both innocuous information as well as potentially criminal, controversial, or otherwise noteworthy content. Key findings will be highlighted along with links, screenshots, a list of social media profiles, name match results, and a comprehensive report summary. Our media analysts can conduct as little as 1-hour searches to unlimited searches. We can tailor our searches to align with your specific individual or business needs.

  • Professional Licensing Verification

This search verifies any professional licenses and certifications held by the subject and will provide any sanctions records relating to such licenses. The search will provide records on accuracy of the subject’s license, any disciplinary actions taken, date of issue, expiration dates, and status of license.

Additional fees will apply for additional name searches or verifications. Please contact us for more information.
