# County Checks

County Checks provide county-level criminal background check results for a specific jurisdiction. Results are retrieved from county court records and can be cancelled while in pending status.

## Create county check

 - [POST /county_checks](https://docs.checkrtrust.com/v1/county-checks/post-county-checks.md): Create a new county criminal check for a county jurisdiction, or a state-level criminal check when
county_fips_code is the literal statewide (case-insensitive).

This endpoint initiates the search using either provided PII (personally identifiable information)
or an existing profile.

Required fields when providing PII (without profile_id):
- first_name
- last_name
- dob
- state
- county_fips_code (5-digit county FIPS, or statewide for a state-level search)

When using a profile_id, only state and county_fips_code are required.

## Get county check

 - [GET /county_checks/{county_check_id}](https://docs.checkrtrust.com/v1/county-checks/get-county-check-by-id.md): Get a single county check with a given id.

## Cancel county check

 - [POST /county_checks/{county_check_id}/cancel](https://docs.checkrtrust.com/v1/county-checks/post-county-check-cancel.md): Cancel an existing county check that is in a pending state.

A reason must be provided for the cancellation. Only checks that are
currently in 'pending' status can be cancelled.
