# Regulated County Checks

Regulated County Checks provide county-level or statewide criminal background check results for a specific jurisdiction. Provide a county FIPS code for a county-level search, or omit it for a statewide search. Results include checks at the record, case, and charge levels indicating compliance with applicable legal rules. A permissible purpose is required for FCRA compliance.

A permissible purpose must be provided to comply with FCRA requirements.

To perform a county-level check, provide a county_fips_code along with the state.
To perform a statewide check, provide only the state and omit county_fips_code.
