What Instant Checkmate knows about you
Instant Checkmate sells background reports to consumers. The free preview shows your name and approximate age. The paid report adds court records, criminal history, traffic citations, social media accounts, neighbors, and a relatives list. The data overlaps heavily with TruthFinder and Intelius — they all source from the same PeopleConnect aggregation.
Why it matters if you're on the job
For sworn officers, the report compiles years of court appearances, address history, and family connections in one PDF. Any stranger who pays a monthly subscription fee can pull it. The aggregation includes records from court aggregators that don't always honor expungements.
How to opt out
Use the PeopleConnect central opt-out — same flow as TruthFinder and the other sister sites. One filing covers Instant Checkmate plus the four others. Steps are in the optOutSteps field above.
How long until you're back
Six months on average. Re-builds from the same court-aggregator and commercial broker feeds as the rest of the PeopleConnect chain.
What we do that's faster
We file through the PeopleConnect central opt-out and re-check every two weeks. When you re-list on any sister site, we re-file across the chain. Same drill across 200+ broker sites in parallel.
Doing this for one broker is straightforward. Doing it for 200, on a continuous basis, is what we do.
