A background investigation is a database and Internet review that covers a longer timeframe than an activity check, providing a more comprehensive report of a subject’s life. It includes searches for a current address, household members and immediate family, real property and vehicle ownership, business affiliations, professional licensure, federal and local court matters, social media profiles, and other Internet references. Based on the initial findings, there are often recommendations for additional research and strategic inquiries.
