State Background Check Services Fees

• DMV: Each state's DMV charges an access fee per Motor Vehicle Report. There are state-approved providers that must be used to access the state's system, which adds a small additional fee per report retrieved. The state and provider's fees are combined as a thirdparty fee.
• State Criminal Repository Searches: Most states charge an access fee for state repository searches. The fees for Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, New Jersey, Oklahoma, and Virginia include service fees to cover the cost of the requirements for obtaining the information.
• Workers’ Compensation Some states charge an access fee for workers' compensation records.
