Introduction to the MACHS Name Search Portal
How to Conduct a Name-Based Background Search
To perform a name-based background search through the MACHS portal, you will need to provide the following information about the applicant:
- First and Last Name: The individual’s full name.
- Date of Birth or Social Security Number: One of these identifiers is necessary for accurate results.
- Alias or Maiden Names: You can also enter up to two alias or maiden names per request.
Creating an Account
If you are using the MACHS Name Search Portal for the first time, you must create an account. This account will be used for payment purposes and to access the results of your background checks.
Important Note: All results will be available online only; no physical copies will be mailed to you. This ensures that you can access your results quickly and conveniently.
Understanding Search Results
The searches conducted through the Name Search Portal are based solely on the personal identifiers you supply. The results provided are considered a “possible” match and should not be regarded as definitive proof of identity without further verification. Always exercise caution and due diligence when interpreting the results.
