BeenVerified.com is a background check and people search service that allows users to access public records and information about individuals. Founded in 2007, the company provides services through its website and mobile applications. Users can search for contact information, criminal records, social media profiles, address history, professional licenses, bankruptcies, and liens.
The platform offers a Background Check App that enables users to run background checks using names and email addresses. Additionally, BeenVerified has developed other applications, such as NumberGuru, a reverse phone number lookup service, and a sex offender tracking app that uses augmented reality to locate sex offenders.
BeenVerified operates outside the realm of consumer reporting agencies and does not furnish consumer reports in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Therefore, its reports should not be used for screening prospective employees or tenants, evaluating eligibility for loans or insurance, or any other purposes regulated by FCRA. The service is designed for informational purposes, offering a broad spectrum of data to users without delving into areas subject to the specific regulations of FCRA.
The company has been recognized for its growth, ranking #26 on the Inc. 5000 list in 2013. Users must pay for access to BeenVerified's services through either a one- or three-month billing plan. The platform also provides an opt-out process for individuals who wish to remove their information from the site.
