Background Investigations
Robert Cirtin Investigations (RCI) offers comprehensive background investigation services tailored for businesses, religious organizations, and individuals. With a foundation established in 1991, RCI has built a reputation for thoroughness, discretion, and accuracy in uncovering vital information to support informed decision-making.
Background Investigations: Uncovering the Truth
In situations where trust and safety are paramount—such as hiring decisions, child custody cases, or online relationships—conducting a detailed background investigation is essential. RCI provides meticulous background checks to reveal critical information that might otherwise remain hidden.
Statewide Criminal Court Record Search
This search uncovers any criminal activity an individual may have been involved in within a specific state. It includes both misdemeanor and felony convictions, providing insight into a person’s past behavior. Employers and individuals can use this information to make safer decisions, especially when hiring for sensitive roles or engaging in personal relationships that require a high level of trust.
Civil Court Records Search
RCI investigates civil court records to reveal information about lawsuits, bankruptcies, liens, judgments, and even marital history such as marriages and divorces. These records can shed light on a person’s financial responsibility, legal disputes, or other patterns of behavior that may affect personal or professional decisions. This check is especially useful in both business partnerships and custody matters.
Federal Court Search
A federal court search is essential for uncovering any involvement an individual may have had in federal-level criminal or civil cases. These may include white-collar crimes, drug trafficking, or other violations of federal law. RCI accesses federal databases to provide a clear picture of any such legal history, helping clients avoid serious liabilities or risks in the future.
Sex Offender Registry & Record Search
This search identifies whether an individual appears on any state or national sex offender registries. It’s a critical safety measure for employers, especially those in education, childcare, or healthcare, and for individuals entering relationships or allowing someone into their home. RCI ensures you have accurate information to protect yourself and those around you.
Social Security Verification
RCI performs Social Security number verification to confirm the validity and issuance of the number. This check can help detect identity fraud, confirm that an applicant is who they claim to be, and match the SSN to known aliases and date-of-birth records. It’s a fundamental part of comprehensive background screening, especially for employment or tenant vetting.
Address Verification
Address history checks provide insight into a person’s residential background. This investigation reveals previous addresses, associated names or aliases, and the timeframes tied to each location. It’s particularly helpful in confirming application information and identifying suspicious patterns, such as frequent moves or hidden identity changes, which may suggest instability or intentional deception.
License Search
RCI checks for professional and personal licenses held by an individual, including business licenses, driver’s licenses, and concealed carry permits. The search also reveals whether these licenses are current, expired, or have ever been revoked. This helps verify qualifications for employment or determine if someone is legally authorized for specific activities.
Public Driving Records Search
This check accesses state motor vehicle records to identify moving violations, DUI convictions, license suspensions, and other driving-related infractions. It’s especially useful when hiring employees who will be operating company vehicles or transporting passengers. RCI provides a clear view of an individual’s driving habits and overall responsibility on the road.
Death Records Search
RCI can confirm whether an individual is deceased by accessing public death records, which include the date and location of death. This verification is useful in matters of estate planning, fraud prevention, and verifying the legitimacy of claims in legal or financial situations. It’s also used when someone suspects identity misuse involving a deceased person.
Education Verification Check
This investigation validates an individual’s educational background by confirming attendance, degrees earned, majors, and dates of graduation. It ensures that candidates have the academic credentials they claim, which is essential in professional hiring, especially for positions requiring specific qualifications or certifications. RCI works directly with institutions to confirm the truth behind every resume.
Employment Search & Verification
Robert Cirtin Investigations offers an employment verification check to determine whether a subject is or was employed. We can also determine dates of employment, position/job title, salary history, and if the subject is a good candidate for rehire.
Personal Reference Inquiry

Email Search
Our investigators can normally find and verify an individual’s email address(es).
Phone Search
In most cases, we can determine a subject’s cell phone and landline telephone numbers using other kinds of information uncovered during our investigation.
Newspaper Archives Search
Sometimes a subject will appear in newspaper articles across the country. By searching through national and local newspaper archives we can find articles that mention the subject, thus providing additional information.
Social Media Search
Our investigators can conduct a social media search to gather information that might not otherwise be available. We can often discover negative information through postings and photos, determine their activities, discover their location, and identify other people they associate with. In many cases, we can also obtain recent photographs of the subject.
Asset Search
Our investigators can many times discover a subject’s known and hidden assets, including vehicles, property, watercrafts, personal property, and more.
Business Entity and Corporate Records Searches
We have the ability to conduct a business entity and corporate records search that seeks to discover information about businesses of interest. We can determine the company’s name, address, telephone number, and Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN). We also look for information relating to key business contacts which include their name, title, SSN, FEIN, and phone number.
