Third Parties

  • Driving records.
    • Going through an experienced private business can put these records in your hands quickly and easily.

    • Having the right name on your documents is critical, and using an outside vendor is another chance to leapfrog long wait times.
  • Background check.
    • You can't get this service through the state, so using an experienced business gives you the added assurance that your report will be as complete as possible.
  • Criminal record check.
    • Even going through the state, the process can get complicated. Using a private company will ensure the service is done well and done right.
  • Court records.
    • Court records are also notoriously difficult to collect, even when using a state agency. Hire a business with years of know-how to make sure all your i's are dotted and t's crossed.
  • Public records.
    • Just because they're public doesn't mean they're easy to track down. An outside company can gather your information in one fell swoop.
  • Vital records.
    • Birth records.
    • Death records.
    • Divorce records.
    • Marriage records.
      • City Hall, where all these records are typically stored, is often the busiest locale for governments. A third-party vendor can help you avoid long wait times.
