Key Workflows
Identity Verification
Run a single query through Unified Search to check an individual’s name against jail rosters, court records, and the sex offender registry simultaneously. Cross-reference results with GDC corrections data and AI-matched mugshots to confirm identity before escalating a review.
Criminal History Check
View an individual’s full public-record history across all covered counties in one screen. DocketStream surfaces every booking, charge, case outcome, and corrections record tied to a name — no county-by-county manual lookups required.
Ongoing Monitoring
Create Smart Alert watchers for current employees, contractors, or vendors you want to monitor continuously. DocketStream notifies you the moment a new booking, release, or bond change is recorded — so you catch a post-hire incident the day it happens, not at the next annual review.
Compliance Documentation
DocketStream is FCRA, GDPR, and state-regulation compliant, and all data comes from public sources. Your compliance team can document searches, export records via CSV (Professional and above), and reference the platform’s compliance guidelines to support internal reviews or regulatory inquiries.
Enterprise API: Bulk Background Checks in HR Onboarding
For organizations running high-volume onboarding, manual platform searches don’t scale. DocketStream’s Enterprise plan provides full API access and webhook support so you can embed background intelligence directly into your HR workflows.1
Integrate the API into Your ATS or HRIS
Use the DocketStream REST API to trigger a unified records check as soon as a candidate completes onboarding paperwork in your applicant tracking or HR information system. Pass the candidate’s name and any available identifiers; the API returns matching records from all connected data sources in a single structured response.
2
Configure Webhooks for Real-Time Alerts
Set up webhooks to push booking and release events directly into your HRIS, SIEM, or case management system. When a monitored employee or contractor is booked, your system receives a payload instantly — no polling, no manual checks.
3
Review Flagged Records in the Dashboard
All API-triggered searches and webhook events are visible in the Intelligence Dashboard. Your security team can review flagged records and export documentation without leaving the platform.
4
Export Records for Compliance Review
Use CSV export or the API to pull booking records, corrections data, and alert history for any date range. Attach exported records to compliance filings, internal investigations, or legal discovery packages — every export includes timestamps and source attribution from the underlying public record.
