What is the main difference between the manual & instant criminal background checks?
The instant searches yield real-time results of online criminal databases while the manual searches require a researcher to search physical records from government databases and/or state databases. Searching the instant database is faster and less expensive (these are the searches you see advertised on the internet as “Fast & Cheap“). A manual search however, provides a more detailed account of an individual’s criminal history.
