Coverage register
Every source we search
This is the complete list of data sources behind a VolunteerBadge background check — by name, type, jurisdiction and refresh cycle. No form, no NDA, nothing held back. Ask any other screening provider for the same thing in writing.
Coverage by state
Darker states carry more sources. Coverage is uneven by design — states that devolve criminal jurisdiction across many independent courts need more sources to reach the same records. Click any state to see every source we search there.

Why the registry line matters most
189 of our 200 sex-offender registry sources refresh weekly— every state registry, the District of Columbia, the territories and the national registry. If someone is added to a registry on a Tuesday, a monthly refresh cycle can leave them invisible to a background check for weeks. For an organisation placing adults in unsupervised contact with children, those weeks are the entire risk. Overall, 92.2% of sources run on a monthly cycle and 222 run weekly.
An honest limitation
No single government database contains every U.S. criminal record, and county submission to state and federal repositories is substantially voluntary. That is true of every multi-source search, ours included. Breadth reduces the chance that a record sits in a jurisdiction nobody looked at; it does not reduce it to zero. We publish this list so you can judge the breadth yourself rather than take our word for it.
Inside a $5 check
Breadth, refresh cadence, accuracy and cost — every figure computed from the register below.
Breadth · the 3,241 source breakdown
Spanning 58U.S. jurisdictions — all 50 states, D.C. and the territories. Over half are court sources, where the substance of a criminal record lives.
- Total3,241
Frequency · the refresh cycle
Most sources refresh every 30 days, which is what FCRA § 1681k currency expectations are built around.
sex-offender registries refresh weekly. Added on a Tuesday, a monthly cycle can leave someone invisible for weeks — and for anyone placing adults with children, those weeks are the entire risk.
Identity & review · ensuring accuracy
- 1
Multi-factor identity resolution
Matches anchored to an SSN trace, address history and date of birth, with government ID and a live selfie.
- 2
Mandatory human review
Possible records go to a trained reviewer, typically within three business days, to exclude anything not reportable or not this person.
- 3
FCRA-regulated throughout
Disclosure, authorisation, dispute rights and the adverse-action workflow — as the consumer reporting agency, not a reseller.
The nonprofit logic · population coverage
Roughly 94% of background checks come back empty. The dominant cost is not investigating records — it is confirming, over and over, that there is nothing to investigate.
Same 200 volunteers. At $30 a head the predictable response is to screen fewer people, and every exclusion is a gap. Population coverage beats per-report depth when almost every report is empty.
If you are here to check whether this holds up
Two kinds of people read this page: buyers deciding whether $5 can be real, and competitors checking our claims. Both deserve the same answers, so here they are.
“Anyone can list source names.”
True. So run the test that settles it: take five people you have already screened elsewhere — same names, same dates of birth — and run them through us. Compare what comes back and compare the invoice. That costs $25 and proves more than any page can.
“Cheap must mean thin.”
The price reflects who we are in the chain, not what we search. ScreenForge Labs is the consumer reporting agency, not a reseller marking up someone else’s product, and we do not carry enterprise sales and support costs. Same search, fewer layers between you and it.
“What are you not telling me?”
That no multi-source search is complete. No single government database holds every U.S. criminal record, and county submission to state and federal repositories is largely voluntary — the PBSA says so plainly, and it is true of every vendor including us. A direct county courthouse search in every jurisdiction someone has lived in is more thorough, and costs accordingly. We publish this list so you can judge the breadth instead of taking our word for it.
“Who reviews a hit?”
A trained person, before anything reaches you. A clear search returns in minutes; a possible record goes to review, typically within three business days, to exclude what belongs to someone else or is not reportable. No algorithm decides on its own whether a record is your applicant.
Ask us the awkward questions
If something on this page does not add up, or you want a source we do not list, write to support@screenforgelabs.com and say so directly. ScreenForge Labs, LLC has obtained its FCRA Certificate from the Consumer Data Industry Association, and a real person will answer — including if the honest answer is that we do not cover something.
How the search is built
