iDenfy improves its database screening toolkit with a new Criminal Background Check feature

DOVER, Del. - Oct. 31, 2025 - PRLog -- iDenfy, a leading identity verification and fraud prevention software provider, announced the launch of its Criminal Background Check feature, allowing businesses to automatically screen different government databases, extract information about an individual, and help find out if they have links to crime. This helps streamline access to official government databases from all U.S. states and improve risk assessment practices, especially for U.S.-based entities and their clients that need to be thoroughly reviewed before onboarding or throughout the whole business relationship.

In 2024, consumers reported losing more than $12.5 billion to financial crimes, which reflects an approximately 25 percent increase over the previous year. iDenfy's criminal background check function is especially valuable to onboard corporate clients, vendors, and partners, as it allows for screening a company's directors, shareholders, and key personnel against global criminal and sanction databases.

The latest Criminal Background Check feature goes beyond standard screening results. It automatically scans and looks through official government databases to find any criminal records. It shows details like the type of offense, how serious it was, the court case information, sentencing date, and release date. In this way, by providing a comprehensive and audit-ready overview, iDenfy can help compliance teams to make informed decisions quickly and effectively. The report includes verified personal and corporate identity data, offense classifications, case statuses, arrest records, warrants, court documents, inmate information, sex offender registries, and adverse media coverage.

The new Criminal Background Check helps organizations detect red flags much faster, not to mention the ability to maintain audit-ready documentation instantly, check whether the individual has had any criminal offenses, including details like court cases, offense class, and release dates, and gain full confidence knowing if the users could meet stringent compliance obligations across multiple jurisdictions.

"By connecting all systems and searches into our RegTech platform, we eliminate the need for manual queries across multiple sources and provide analysts with comprehensive records in real-time," explained Domantas Ciulde.
