Level 1 Name Check: FAQs
What's the difference between Level 1 and Level 2?
Level 1 is name-based and needs no fingerprints. Level 2 is fingerprint-based and searches state and national (FBI) records. It's required for many healthcare, school and childcare jobs.
Will an agency accept a name check for licensing?
Usually not. Licensing boards and most state agencies require fingerprint-based Livescan. A name check is best for personal, tenant and private-employer purposes.
Can I order a name check on someone else?
Only with that person's written consent and a legally permissible purpose, such as tenant screening or employment, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
