Everything you need to know about background checks by name
A background check by name is an online service that searches public records and online sources to find details linked to someone’s full name. When information is available, it compiles everything into an easy-to-review report.
It’s worth noting that there are various kinds of background check tools. Basic ones typically provide limited information, such as age, state, and possible connections.
Advanced sites, however, deliver comprehensive results. They include contact details, family connections, marital status, social media profiles, education history, work background, criminal records, property ownership details, debt history, and more.
Searqle falls into the advanced category. It scans billions of records, even hard-to-find ones, and filters out irrelevant details so you can trust what you’re seeing.
A background check typically takes 5 to 15 minutes, depending on how much data is available and how common the name you’re searching is. Rare names usually return results faster.
Instant background checks are a marketing myth because it’s impossible to scan billions of sources and filter accurate details in seconds. That said, it shouldn’t take all day either. We’ve designed Searqle to deliver reliable results as quickly as possible.
Yes, you can. You’ll need the full name, especially the last name. If you’re unsure about the first name’s exact spelling, a shortened version works too. Searqle will find the right match.
For example, if you search for Alex Smith, Searqle will pull up results for Alexandra Smith, Alexa Smith, and Alex Smith, showing their ages and locations so you can select the correct person’s report.
Searqle’s background checks provide accurate results, but we recommend verifying critical details independently. That’s because some data sources, like court records, update periodically, and delays can occur. The information in your report is linked to the person you searched, but it may not always reflect the most recent changes.
There are free background checkers available, but they’re not as accurate as paid services. It takes significant time and resources to create a tool capable of cross-referencing multiple databases, and free platforms usually have limited resources.
That said, you don’t need to spend hundreds on subscriptions. Searqle delivers the same quality results as expensive search engines without the steep fees.
Searqle automatically includes criminal record checks in every background search. It scans sex offender registries, court records, and public databases to find any charges or convictions linked to the person you're searching. You'll see what they were charged with, when it happened, and the outcome.
It’s legal to search criminal records by name for personal knowledge or safety reasons. However, you cannot use this information to make hiring, housing, or lending decisions. Searqle isn’t a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and cannot be used for employment screening or similar purposes.
