Minnesota Background Check Data Supplier

Reliable Public Record Information in Minnesota

With over 20 years of experience, Eagle Eye Screening Solutions provides wholesale public records retrieval services.

In Minnesota, the significance of reliable public record information is highlighted by its use by Consumer Reporting Agencies (CRAs). These agencies often initiate criminal background investigations at the county level, where the majority of criminal charges and convictions are recorded. However, the scope of these county-level investigations can be constrained by each county’s geographical boundaries. To address this, Eagle Eye Screening Solutions conducts criminal searches at both the county and state levels in Minnesota.


The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), a federal law, was established to protect the privacy of consumer report information and to ensure the accuracy of the information provided by CRAs. By accessing dependable background check data in Minnesota, CRAs can provide their clients with comprehensive and accurate background checks. This enables employers to make informed hiring decisions, thereby reducing the risk of potential negligent hiring lawsuits.
