In a Nutshell
Available Searches
Due to its roots as an identity verifier for online daters, Instant Checkmate has never introduced the option for reverse phone or e-mail search. You will need to know the name of an individual that you want to research, but the detail that you’re provided with is excellent. Millions of public and private records are indexed including national, state and federal court documents – along with police enforcement information. You’ll be able to find details of individual arrests, dispositions and sentences.
Report Details
Armed with the first name, surname and state of an individual in the United States; we entered their information in the homepage search bar on Instant Checkmate. We watched a progress bar fill as individual item details were ticked as the search checked for them – these included arrest records, misdemeanors, felonies, lawsuits, speeding tickets, sexual offenses and more. Our report preview returned 2 individuals and our target was immediately identifiable as we could now see their age, middle initial, city and relatives.
To find out more information from them, we selected the correct individual from the list and the reporting software again went to work. Building the report in the background, we watched it tick off more information items along with crawling social networks too. We would have full access to this information should we choose to purchase a trial, single report or membership.
Key Features
The search process is a drawn-out spectacle with lots of loading bars and individual item checking, so it’s not surprising to find out that Instant Checkmate scans more than 30 databases to build its report. Whilst clearly complex in the background, the user interface is perfect in simplicity. A nice touch, obviously leftover from its days in the online dating sector, is that horoscope information is provided on a targeted individual.
