Faqs

• Anti-Catfish Check
  • Verify the authenticity of your matches to prove they are who they say they are. The information required to perform this check is first and last name, city, state, and year of birth. This allows Brightcheck to provide an easy to read check that verifies a person’s name, location, age, and marital status.

• Criminal Check
  • This service provides you with information about your match’s criminal history using just their first name, last name and year of birth. This information allows Brightcheck to provide you an easy to read report that verifies whether the person has a record of any major crimes.

• Social Check
  • Validate someone’s social media accounts to determine if they are possibly a bot or fraudster. The only information needed is an email or phone number. This allows visibility into their social media presences, which helps prove their legitimacy. You are provided a list of all associated social media accounts including: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Skype, Spotify, and many more.

Brightcheck has 3 different checks based on what a user wants to know about a person.

Yes. Brightcheck adheres to all U.S. federal and local regulations. We offer a Non-FCRA background check which does not require consent of a person to obtain their information.

It can depend on what results you received. If a person does not verify via anti-catfish a check in 30 does is typical. If a person does not have any criminal background then it is your discretion as to when you want to check them again. It is recommended every 3 months.

We cover the entire United States other than South Dakota for the criminal check which is not allowed at this time due to state law

No, as that is considered an Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) check and strictly prohibited use within Brightcheck.
