    <p>Discover the dos and don'ts of using US Background Search, a
leading Public Records Search Service. Ensure you order a public records
search responsibly and in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act
(FCRA)</p>
<p>US Background Search is one of the largest Public Records
Search Services in the world. Our service operates by aggregating
public records from all over the United States. When you run a
new search, public records are pulled from multiple data sources,
and this information is then compiled and displayed in a single,
easy-to-read report.</p>
<p>Our goal is to help users learn the truth about the people in their
lives, and reports may include information such as phone numbers,
addresses, contact information, previous arrests, criminal
convictions, traffic citations, sex offender status, and much more.</p>
<p>US Background Search is a public records search service, which
means there are strict guidelines as to how and why our service
may be used. Most importantly, we are NOT a Consumer Reporting
Agency, and therefore it is prohibited to use our site for any
purpose governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). So
