Civil Records
Records that refer to an individual's non-criminal records, mostly public governmental records.
Civil records include a great deal of information about individuals, and they include, among other records, the following:
• Birth records
• Death records
• Marriage records
• Divorce records
• Property records
• Lawsuits
• Tax liens
• Government lawsuits
Civil records also include lawsuits that an individual has been involved in and business connection that an individual may have; partnerships, corporations, and information about other business entities that are associated with an individual. Such information is not always revealed in a basic background check, making in-depth online background checks more precise and informative.
