Core check · Criminal

County Court Searches

Records pulled directly from the court of record, county by county.

A county court search goes straight to the source: the local courthouse where a case was actually filed. It is the most authoritative layer of a criminal check, catching records a national database pointer can miss or report without disposition. Atlas searches every relevant county surfaced by the identity trace and applies FCRA lookback rules automatically.
