Reviewing Third Party Checks Results

At the top of the menu, you'll see the total number of Matches Found which indicates the number of responses you've received from each check. This number is not indicative of a positive or negative result, and is just the total number of results you have to review. In the list, you should see the results of your tests:

In the chart below, you can see example results from each of these tests and how to analyze the results for yourself.
- IdentiFraud and DMV checks will return a Pass or Fail result as these tests are deterministic and therefore have either a positive or negative outcome.
- Criminal Records, PEP, OFAC, Every Politician, and Sex Offender checks results will be either a Full Match, a Partial Match, or No Match for each scan. These results all require a bit more analysis before you can make a determination as to the result.
