VolunteerBadge lets nonprofits, churches, and youth organizations screen volunteers online in up to 72 hours for just $5 per check. No monthly fees, no setup costs, no contracts. Send an authorization link, get results fast, and keep your community safe — all without blowing your volunteer budget.
VolunteerBadge handles the entire screening workflow so your team can focus on your mission, not paperwork.
VolunteerBadge handles the entire process digitally. Send volunteers a secure authorization link by email, they complete the consent form online, and you get results in your dashboard — no faxing, no scanning, no chasing paperwork.
Most volunteer background checks through VolunteerBadge complete within one to two business days. Searches cover 650M+ court records, sex offender registries, FBI Most Wanted, and OFAC sanctions lists so you get a thorough screen quickly.
Unlike NCSI ($16-$35/check) or National Crime Search ($13.95-$27.95), VolunteerBadge charges a flat $5 with no monthly minimum, no setup fee, and no contract. Screen one volunteer or one hundred — you only pay for what you use.
No IT setup. No training required. Your first check runs the same day you sign up.
No monthly fee. No annual contract. No setup cost. No minimum number of checks. Pay only when you run a check — and only $5 each time.
Most VolunteerBadge checks complete in up to 72 hours. That is on par with or faster than competitors like NCSI and National Crime Search, which charge three to seven times more per check. Speed depends on court record availability, but the majority of searches return results within one business day.
Yes. VolunteerBadge is fully FCRA-compliant, meaning the entire authorization, disclosure, and adverse action workflow meets federal law requirements. The platform generates the required consent forms electronically and guides coordinators through each compliance step, so your online screening is just as legally sound as any paper-based process.
Every $5 check searches 650M+ national criminal court records, the national sex offender registry, the FBI Most Wanted list, and OFAC sanctions lists. A free address history report is also included with every application, which helps surface records across all jurisdictions a volunteer has lived in.
No. VolunteerBadge has no monthly fees, no annual contracts, and no setup fees. You pay $5 per background check only when you run one. This makes it ideal for small nonprofits, churches, and youth sports organizations that screen volunteers seasonally or in small batches.
