A name check is a background check conducted to verify an individual’s identity and criminal history. It is commonly used by employers, landlords, and other parties to screen potential hires or tenants. A clear name check indicates that the individual has no criminal record or other adverse information that would disqualify them from the opportunity in question.
There are a few different ways to check if a name check has been cleared. One option is to contact the county courthouse in the county where the individual resides. The courthouse will have a record of any criminal convictions or other legal proceedings involving the individual.
