Hamilton Background Check Databases

A Hamilton Background Cyber Investigator typically uses a paid Ontario government database to access information regarding criminal history. However, just simply discovering Hamilton court records is usually a service that the ON government jurisdiction offers for free. However, with a Hamilton Private Investigator service, those records can be found much faster.

Hamilton Background Check: Phone Calls

However, some ON universities and colleges protect these records. ​ In this case, the Hamilton Investigator will have to contact the Hamilton resident who is the subject of the background check and get them to contact the ON post-secondary institution themselves in order to access this information. The Hamilton citizen will then be asked to request an educational transcript from the school and get the school to mail it to a Hamilton address of the Investigator's choosing. This will mitigate tampering of the records document. As with education, researching Hamilton references will also require phone calls.
