About Our Data
BeenVerified aggregates billions of public records from government agencies, data providers, and publicly available sources, presenting them in one easy-to-understand report. Our mission is to make public records accessible, accurate, and affordable for everyone.
Where our data comes from:
- Federal, state, and county government records
- Court and criminal justice records
- Deed information and property records
- Motor vehicle and driving records
- Phone and address directories
- Social media and publicly available online profiles
- Business and professional license records
- Bankruptcy, mortgage lien, and judgment records
How we maintain data quality:
BeenVerified has spent over a decade building and refining relationships with trusted data providers. Our data is updated continuously. Most records refresh within days of a change being reported to the source. Because public records are maintained by thousands of separate agencies across the country, no single provider has complete coverage. We aggregate from multiple sources to help maximize accuracy and completeness, and we are transparent about the limitations of any data set.
A note on accuracy:
Public records are only as complete as the agencies that maintain them. Some records are not digitized, some jurisdictions report infrequently, and some information may be outdated by the time it reaches us. We recommend using BeenVerified reports as a starting point for your research rather than the sole basis for important decisions.
