Yearly Renewal Background Checks: AAA requires yearly background checks in the state that an employee resides, to check for any new criminal history since the previous search. Only the state of residency will be searched.
AS OF 7/2026 we no longer require you fill out a request form for renewals. To conduct a renewal background search, simply send an email to Mitchell@pi-info.com containing:
-
-
- Your company name
- The Full name(s) of the employee(s) you need renewed.
- Their Date(s) of Birth
- Their current state of residency
- Let us know if you want violations and infractions reported (+$5)
-
We will invoice your office for the searches requested. If you do not pay your invoice in a timely manner you may be removed as a provider by AAA OR/ID. By submitting a request to PI Services you are agreeing to the terms laid out on the Make a Payment page of our website. Invoices over 90 days past-due will incur a $20 re-billing fee per month.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Something not clear? Call or email us if you have any questions after reading this page.
Are all my employees required to have a background check?
AAA rules state that if an employee has any access to client information or any contact with Clients (whether via phone, email or in-person) they are required to be checked.
What States are searched?
Any state the subject has resided in within the last 7 years.
What is the cost?
First Time Background Checks all begin with a $10 address history search, then we search the locations found.
OR, WA & ID are checked statewide for a flat fee of $25 each. Violations and Infractions may be added to OR and ID searches for $5; this is not required, but many contractors like to know more about the driving record of their subject.
Other States prices vary by location, with most searches being around $15-$40. It is impossible to know until we have a full address history. Some states are checked county-by-county rather than statewide, and many courts charge us additional access fees. We will reach out to you for permission prior to commencing any searches that will total in excess of $100.
Who pays for the search?
Your company pays for the searches you request. Invoices are due up on receipt. On the first Monday of the month our system will add late fees to any past due invoices before sending out monthly statements. By submitting a request you are agreeing to the terms on our Make a Payment page. Make sure you read and understand this page.
What courts do you search?
Oregon: Circuit Court Statewide Criminal Search – $25.00 (Add Violations & Infractions +$5)
Washington: Superior, District & Municipal Court Statewide Criminal Search – $25.00
Idaho: Supreme & District Court Statewide Criminal Search – $25.00 (Add Violations & Infractions +$5)
Other states: We search any courts with criminal jurisdiction. Circuit, Justice, District, Superior, Supreme, etc. – $20+
How far back do we need to check?
AAA OR/ID require the first search for each employee include all the locations the employee has lived and worked in the past 7 years.
How often do we need to do Background Checks on employees?
A background check needs to be conducted before an employee can begin work. Each year thereafter a renewal search will need to be ran. Renewal background checks will only search the employee’s current state of residence, OR or ID. Please note that AAA may revoke contractor agreements with providers who do not keep background checks up to date. If you have failed to do a yearly renewal on a subject and it’s been over three years, you will be required to run that subject as a first time background search.
What if my subject has used numerous last names?
If a subject has used a maiden name or other names in the last 7 years, make sure to provide them. All known names must be searched the first time a background check is done. For yearly renewals we will only search the current legal name.
What if I do not see my company on the list of providers?
Please give us a call and we will add your company name to the list of companies on the request form. 503-643-4274
Who notifies AAA OR/ID of the results?
We take care of that. AAA OR/ID and PI Services share a live online list of contractor’s employees searched and not searched. Pass/fail status will be updated with AAA at the time the invoice and results are sent to you.
Who keeps track of who has and hasn’t been checked?
We keep a list of employees searched along with the results and dates searched, AAA also has this list. If you need a list of employees searched in the last few years, just contact our office.
If a subject has a Felony or Misdemeanor can they still drive for AAA OR/ID?
In many cases, yes. Not all crimes are automatically failing.
