Why it matters

The case for Address History Check

01

Catch address gaps before spending money on a criminal check

A volunteer who omits two years of address history is raising a flag. We surface those gaps immediately so you can ask questions before committing to a full criminal search.

02

Automatic cross-reference against real records

We don't just accept what the applicant types. We pull their actual address history from consumer data sources and compare it against their application — flagging anything that doesn't match.

03

FCRA authorization is embedded automatically

The digital volunteer application includes FCRA-required disclosure and authorization language. Applicants e-sign before we pull anything. Consent is stored for your records.

04

Runs silently in the background

There's nothing to configure. Every time a volunteer submits an application, the address check runs automatically. You see the result before deciding whether to run the paid criminal check.

How it works

Three steps. Start to result.

01

Create a digital volunteer application

Build your volunteer application in minutes. We auto-embed FCRA disclosure language and an e-signature field. No legal knowledge required.

02

Applicant submits — address check runs instantly

The moment they hit submit, we cross-reference the addresses they provided against actual consumer records. The whole process is automatic and costs you nothing.

03

Review flag before deciding on criminal check

If we find a discrepancy, you see it before spending a credit. Request clarification, accept the explanation, or decide the risk isn't worth the check.

FAQ

Common questions about Address History Check.

Why is the address history check free?

Because it's the most underrated screening tool in the industry and the right thing to do. It costs almost nothing to run and it saves you from wasting a $5 credit on an application that needs clarification.

What does "discrepancy" mean in practice?

Common flags include: addresses the applicant listed that don't appear in records, known addresses that the applicant omitted, date-range gaps in reported addresses, and name or date-of-birth mismatches.

Do volunteers know their address history is being checked?

Yes. FCRA requires disclosure and authorization before any consumer report is pulled, including address history. Our application form includes this language automatically.
