Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any setup or monthly platform fees?
Zero. LegalScreen is strictly pay-per-check for our Essential and Professional plans. You can create an account, verify your business, and start screening in under 10 minutes without paying a cent until you order.
Why is the "Standard" plan cheaper than competitors?
Legacy providers operate on a "Reseller Model"—they buy data from aggregators who buy from other aggregators. LegalScreen uses a "Direct Source Model." Our technology queries county court APIs directly, eliminating multiple layers of markup.
What exactly are "Pass-Through Fees"?
Some jurisdictions (like New York state courts or The Work Number for employment verification) charge a mandatory government fee to access their records. We pass this fee directly to you without adding a single cent of markup. Your invoice will clearly separate "LegalScreen Service Fees" from "Government Pass-Through Fees."
Is this fully FCRA compliant?
Absolutely. We are a licensed Consumer Reporting Agency (CRA). Our platform enforces mandatory disclosures, candidate consent flows, and manages the Pre-Adverse/Adverse Action timeline automatically to ensure you stay compliant with federal and state laws.
