Your prepaid funds are deducted on a per inquiry basis. Read more on costs here.

What is a prepaid account?

Your prepaid account is used to keep track of how much monies you have credited to your account. You can deposit money into your prepaid funds account at any time once you are logged into the member area. Initially you will start off with $25 in your prepaid funds account. You can fill it with the amount you desire, from a $20 minimum to a $700 maximum. Any unused prepaid funds associated with your account are refundable should you choose to cancel service at a later date.

How many searches can I make?

This website uses a prepaid system, which allows you to fund your account and perform searches while your account has suffucient funds. Each time you, or one of your company's users, performs a search your account is deducted the appropriate fee from your prepaid funds. Once your funds reach below an amount equal to the cost of one inquiry you will need to add more funds to your prepaid account to continue performing searches. Amounts and available searches for different services (motor vehicle serches versus driver information searches) are displayed to clearly show how many searches you have left. Available inquiries for each report type are displayed by dividing the cost of each search with the total balance in your prepaid account. This is easily identified on each page when you are logged into our system. Your company administrator can choose to receive an email notification when prepaid funds fall below a certain dollar amount.
