BeenVerified, also known as BeenVerified Inc., is a background check company that provides consumer-initiated criminal background and people search services through its website for profit as well as its mobile application Background Check App. BeenVerified was founded in 2007 by Josh Levy and Ross Cohen and its headquarters is located at 48 West 38th Street, 8th Floor, New York, NY 10018. Levy and Cohen first began advertising BeenVerified on television and the back of garbage trucks. When the company first began, it had a service called StandOut which allowed job seekers to check and verify their background information to see what information potential employers could find out about them. BeenVerified uses traditional background-checking methods such as using social security numbers, addresses, and phone numbers as well as Web 2.0 and social networking websites to run their background checks. Information returned to requesting users includes information from public records and other privately licensed databases of public record information. In 2009 BeenVerified released an app for iPhone called the Background Check App. The Background Check App allowed users to access the service from their iPhones. It was the only background check app available other than Intelius’ DateCheck app, which was released in 2008. In 2010 BeenVerified released a sex offender tracking app that was available for both iPhones and Android platforms using public records such as sex offender registries, geolocation service, and augmented reality to show the location of the sex offenders. In 2011 BeenVerified released the Number Guru app, which is a free reverse phone number lookup service. In 2015, BeenVerified launched a caller ID and reverse phone lookup app for the Apple Watch. Some of the information that users can find on BeenVerified is contact information such as a person’s email, phone number, and address, criminal records such as arrests, and traffic violations, court records such as bankruptcies, vehicle records such as VIN showing accident and salvage records, values, vehicle specifications, recalls, license plate records, accident and salvage records, owner information, caller identification using reverse number lookup, names, locations, spam scores, property records such as deeds, property details, professional values, owner information and assessment, and personal details including photos, ages, relatives, associates, assets, jobs and educational history.
