“Background check” means different things depending on who’s asking and why. A landlord screening a tenant needs something different than an attorney preparing for litigation, and both need something different than a parent who wants to know more about their daughter’s new boyfriend. Eye Spy Investigations tailors every background check to what you actually need to know – not a generic report pulled from an outdated database. Call (888) 393-7799 to discuss your situation and what kind of background check makes sense.
What a Background Check Can Include
A background check can be as simple as a driving record, or as involved as a full investigation that includes interviews with neighbors, former employers, or associates – and travel to other states or countries to verify facts where necessary.
Depending on your situation, a background investigation through Eye Spy can include name and alias history, past and present addresses, criminal history searches (national and statewide), sex offender registry checks, motor vehicle and driver’s license history, bankruptcy filings, and unlisted phone number identification.
Not every case needs all of this. The right scope depends entirely on who you’re investigating and why – which is something we’ll walk through with you before any work begins.
Why a $29 Online Background Check Isn’t the Same Thing
Instant background check sites that promise results for $29 are pulling from outdated, aggregated databases – not verified records. The information is frequently incomplete, and it’s not uncommon for it to be wrong entirely. If a decision depends on the accuracy of what you find, a database scrape isn’t a substitute for an actual investigation.
As licensed Michigan private investigators, Eye Spy verifies information through direct record requests and, when needed, direct interviews – not a one-click database query.
Common Situations That Call for a Background Check
People come to us for background checks for a wide range of reasons, including pre-employment screening for a new hire with access to sensitive information or valuables, tenant screening before signing a lease, due diligence before entering a business partnership or transaction, attorneys preparing for litigation or discovery, and a parent who wants to know more about someone in their child’s life.
Whatever the reason, we’ll walk you through what’s realistic to find, what it will cost, and how long it will take before any work begins.
