    Disclaimer: How to Read a Report

    Last updated: 30 September 2026

    In short

    • A report shows what public sources said about a name at the moment you ran it. It is not a police or government verification.
    • Many people share a name. Each result says how closely it matches and why; confirm important findings with the person.
    • Being named in a court case is not proof of wrongdoing. Cases can be civil, withdrawn, or decided in the person's favour.
    • "Nothing found" means nothing was found in the sources we searched, not that the person has a clean record everywhere.

    1. Where the information comes from

    • Court records: cases published through the eCourts system for district courts, High Courts and some tribunals. Not every court publishes every case, and old cases may be missing.
    • Internet mentions: public web pages, news, company and business listings that search engines can find.
    • Social profiles: public profiles only. We cannot see private accounts, and many people keep theirs private.
    • Licence and vehicle details: the government transport databases, as they return them.

    We do not use police databases, credit bureaus, or any source that is not public.

    2. What the match scores mean

    • 100%: the record names the same full name, the same father or husband, and the same district or city.
    • 80%: most details match (for example the name and father's name, but a court in another district; or the name and city on a web page that gives no father's name). Confirm these with the person.
    • Other records found: records of people with the same name that did not match enough. They are counted but not listed, so that someone else's record is never shown as this person's.

    The risk indicator is calculated only from court cases matched at 80% or more, and shows the reasons for its level. It is a guide to what to ask about, not a judgement of the person.

    3. What a court record does and does not mean

    A person can appear in a case as the accused, the complainant, a witness or a party to a civil dispute. A pending case is an allegation that has not been decided. A disposed case may have ended in acquittal, settlement or withdrawal. Please read the case details, and ask the person about any case before you decide anything.

    4. Please use reports fairly

    Reports help you ask the right questions before you trust someone. Do not share or publish them, and do not use them to harass or discriminate. Our Terms & Conditions list what is and is not allowed.

    5. Found a mistake?

    If a report links someone to a record that is not theirs, tell us and we will correct it. If you are the person a report was run on, see Grievance Redressal.
