Government ID + selfie confirms the real person, then the $5 national check runs. Under-18 helpers get guardian consent automatically.
A green “verified” badge (or a flagged review) lands on your roster — with FCRA adverse-action built in.
Flip on volunteer-pays and each volunteer pays for their own check at sign-up — screening stays free for the program, and you still get a verified result for everyone.
No group depends more completely on the adults around them than infants, toddlers, and preschoolers — they cannot speak up, and they are cared for hands-on all day. Church nurseries, preschools, parent co-ops, drop-in childcare, and mothers’-day-out programs all rely on volunteers and aides with total, close access to the youngest children, which makes screening every one of them non-negotiable.
VolunteerBadge runs a full national criminal background check across 650M+ county, state, and federal court records, sex-offender registries in all 50 states, FBI Most Wanted, and OFAC/global watchlists — with a free SSN-traced address-history check on every applicant, no per-seat fees, and no contract. Note that licensed childcare centers may have additional state fingerprint requirements; VolunteerBadge complements, and does not replace, any mandated state check.
And because verifying the human matters as much as searching the name, VolunteerBadge confirms each caregiver with a government photo ID and a biometric selfie matched to the ID.
