IMPORTANT - ConciergePad does not have control when a court runner fee is applied and when it is triggered.

What is a Court Runner or Pass-Through fee?

In addition to the cost of the background check, your reports may be subject to various third-party access fees, including county and state court access fees.

County Fees

Even though criminal records are a matter of public record, jurisdictions that house the records have the right to charge a fee to access the data. Of the 3,200 counties in the United States, roughly 20% charge a fee.

State Fees

In the few states which offer true statewide criminal checks, each charges a separate fee for accessing their criminal data.

Again, all software products that run volunteer clearance have the same process and are subject to court runner fees.
