The Enhanced National search combines a National Criminal Search with an SSN check. We verify the SSN, check it against the SSDI, and pull all linked names. A National Criminal Search is then run on each name returned. Many results are returned within seconds. If a potential record is found, it is sent to the county of record for real time verification, and county searches typically take one to two days to complete.
