The biggest state economy in the U.S.
has the biggest fraud exposure to match.
California's size and diversity make it a magnet for opportunity — and for opportunists. Gig workers, contractors, real estate flippers, and startup founders all operate in a market where verifying identity before you trust someone is basic due diligence.
The unlicensed contractor who knew all the right words
California's booming construction and renovation market attracts both skilled professionals and fraudsters who talk the talk. They take the deposit, produce official-looking paperwork, then disappear before the job is done.
The gig worker whose background check was never run
California's gig economy means businesses rely on workers they've never formally vetted. A quick identity check takes two minutes — skipping it can mean theft, false credentials, or a liability that follows your business for years.
The startup co-founder whose history didn't match their pitch
California attracts ambitious people — some with spotless records, others with a history they'd rather not discuss. When the identity trace returns a different address, a different name history, or a watchlist hit, that's not a coincidence.
From San Diego landlords to San Francisco agency owners —
this is who checks first.
California's economy is the largest in the nation. These are the small business owners who've learned that speed and trust are not the same thing.
Real estate investors & landlords
California's rental market is among the most competitive — and most litigious — in the country. Verifying tenant identity and checking public records before signing a lease is basic protection in a high-stakes market.
Startup founders & small agency owners
Founders and agency owners routinely bring on contractors, freelancers, and co-founders fast. California's startup culture rewards speed — but a single unverified bad actor in your team can cause enormous reputational and financial damage.
Private lenders & angel investors
California's investment culture means private money flows fast. Whether you're lending to a friend's business or making a personal investment, a two-minute lookup confirms the person is who they say they are before any money moves.
Six checks. One report. Two minutes. Done.
You get the full picture — not a surface-level search. Every report combines six independent data checks into one clear, plain-English summary.
Criminal records search
Searches national court and criminal databases for records matching the provided name and any state or county criteria you supply.
SSN trace & address history
Verifies the Social Security Number is real and tied to the name they gave you — plus every address ever linked to it.
Watchlist & sanctions screening
Cross-references global watchlists, PEP databases, and U.S. sanctions lists for any matching records.
Phone & email identity check
Confirms the phone and email actually match the name they gave you — or flags it when something doesn't line up.
Digital footprint review
Shows which apps, platforms, and services are linked to the email address. More data points, clearer picture.
Social profile references
Surfaces linked social accounts to check name consistency and catch any public-facing identity discrepancies.
Every report ends with a plain-English result: Clear, Review, or Flag — no guesswork, no jargon. You know exactly what to do next.
See what comes back when you look someone up.
Same structure as a real report. Fictional names. This is exactly what lands in your dashboard — clean, readable, and actionable.

They checked. It paid off.
"I own three rental units in the Bay Area. California tenant law is unforgiving once someone is in — so I use ClearCheck before I even schedule a showing with a serious applicant. It's the best $30 I spend all month."
"We brought on a freelance developer who claimed a senior engineering background. The name mismatch on the ClearCheck report made us dig deeper. Saved us from a very expensive mistake on a critical project."
"I lend privately to small business owners in Southern California. The market is full of real opportunity and also real risk. ClearCheck is now my first call before any serious conversation gets started."
