Access fees
Some record sources charge for access. Information Direct separates those charges from package fees and passes them through at cost with no markup.
Access fees are charges set by third-party sources, not by Information Direct. They can apply when courts, DMVs, schools, employers, laboratories, clinics, international sources, or verification databases charge for access.
Some fees depend on candidate address history, license state, school, employer, lab location, country, alias history, or the final county scope.
When source fees apply, Information Direct itemizes them separately and passes them through at cost with no markup.
| Source | Example fee driver | Planning note |
|---|---|---|
| Court | County access, copies, certifications | Varies by jurisdiction |
| DMV | State MVR fee | Varies by license state |
| Verification source | School or employer database | Varies by source response path |
| Lab or clinic | Drug screening collection or test | Varies by location and panel |
| International | Country-specific access or translation | Quote by country |
