Washington Background Check Data Supplier
Reliable Public Record Information in Washington
With over 20 years of experience, Eagle Eye Screening Solutions provides wholesale public records retrieval services.
Consumer Reporting Agencies (CRAs) commonly initiate criminal background investigations at the county level because most criminal charges and conviction records are recorded there. However, the extent of these county-level searches can be limited by each county's geographical boundaries. In Washington, Eagle Eye Screening Solutions offers criminal searches at both the county and state levels.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is specifically designed to safeguard the privacy of consumer report information and ensure the accuracy of data provided by CRAs. By having access to dependable background check data in Washington, CRAs can furnish their clients with thorough and precise background checks. This, in turn, empowers employers to make well-informed hiring decisions and reduces the risk of potential negligent hiring lawsuits.

What May Be Reported on a State Criminal History Search?
A Washington State Criminal History Search, often referred to as a background check or criminal record check, can reveal various types of information about an individual's criminal history within the state of Washington. The information that may be reported on such a search typically includes:
- Convictions: This would include details about any criminal convictions an individual has in Washington State. It may include the type of crime, the date of conviction, and the sentencing information.
- Arrest Records: Information about arrests that have resulted in convictions, pending charges, or dispositions may also be included in the report.
- Misdemeanors: Details of misdemeanor offenses for which the individual has been convicted may be reported. This could include crimes such as petty theft, simple assault, or DUI.
- Felonies: Information about felony convictions, which are more serious crimes, may also be part of the report. Examples of felonies include burglary, robbery, and murder.
- Court Records: The report may include information related to court proceedings, such as the date of the court appearance, case numbers, and outcomes.
- Warrants: Outstanding warrants, which are issued by the court for a person's arrest, may be included in the report.
- Probation and Parole: Details about an individual's probation or parole status, including any violations or successes in complying with the conditions of release.
- Sex Offender Registration: Information about an individual's registration as a sex offender, if applicable, may be part of the report.
- Non-Convictions: In some cases, records of arrests or charges that did not result in convictions may still appear on the report, but they may be noted as non-convictions.
- Juvenile Records: Juvenile records are typically sealed and not included in standard adult criminal history searches. However, certain juvenile offenses that resulted in adult charges may be accessible.
It's important to note that the availability and scope of information in a criminal history search can vary depending on factors such as the level of access granted to the requester and the purpose of the background check. Additionally, some records may be sealed or expunged under certain circumstances, making them inaccessible for most background checks.

Background Data Restrictions and Regulations in Washington
In Washington, there are several restrictions and regulations on how background data can be accessed and used. Here are some key points:
My Health, My Data Act:
This act was signed into law on April 27, 2023, and will be effective in 2024. It was introduced to give Washingtonians greater protections of their personal health information and more control over personal data usage than those provided by the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The Act also protects Washingtonians’ confidentiality when making decisions about their health and accessing healthcare services.
Washington Privacy Act:
This act grants consumers the right to access, transfer, correct, and delete the data that companies such as Facebook or Google hold on them. Consumers can also opt-out of targeted advertising and the sale of their personal data under the legislation.
Job Applicants—Criminal Records:
An employer may not include any question on any application for employment, inquire either orally or in writing, receive information through a criminal history background check, or otherwise obtain information about an applicant’s criminal record until after the employer initially determines that the applicant is otherwise qualified for the position.
Personal Information—Notice of Security Breaches:
Any person or business that conducts business in this state and that owns or licenses data that includes personal information shall disclose any breach of the security of the system to any resident of this state whose personal information was, or is reasonably believed to have been, acquired by an unauthorized person.
Records Retention Schedule:
The state and local records committees approve a general retention schedule for state and local agency records that applies to records that are common to most agencies.
These restrictions and regulations are designed to protect the privacy rights of individuals and ensure fairness in the use of background data.
