Personal History Checks for
Safer Online and In-Person Dating

A dating background check helps you verify that an online match is who they say they are and has no history that puts you at risk. It typically includes a national criminal record search with aliases, a sex offender registry check and an identity trace, with an optional social media review, delivered discreetly by email.
