AAA Requires all employees to undergo an annual 7-year Felony & Misdemeanor History Search as well as a Nationwide Sex Offender registry search.
This background check will also comply with Agero requirements. 

2025 – Please read this entire page before you continue, as things have changed from previous years.
As of 2025, AAA requires we verify address history on all first time background checks in order to ensure accuracy. This means all first time background checks now cost $10 additional, and you may expect slightly longer response times.

First Time Background Checks:  As of 2025, AAA requires we verify address history on all first time background checks in order to ensure accuracy. We will search court records in all the locations your subject has lived in the last 7 years. Background checks will be invoiced to your office. If additional states are found and the expected total is to exceed $75, we will reach out for approval before completing the search.

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.  If you need a list of employees and the date of the last search, just reach out to our office.

 

Please read through our short FAQs before submitting a form. Something not clear? Call or email if you have any questions after reading this page.

Frequently Asked Questions:

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 of our clients like to know more about the driving record of their subject.  See below for specific courts searched.

Other States prices vary by location, with most searches being around $20-$45.  It is impossible to know until we have a full address history. Some states are checked county-by-county rather than statewide, and some courts charge us additional access fees. If additional states are found and the expected total is to exceed $75, we will reach out for approval before completing the search.

What courts do you search?

Oregon Circuit Court Statewide Felony & Misdemeanor Search – $25.00 (Add Violations & Infractions – $5)
Washington Superior, District & Municipal Statewide Felony & Misdemeanor Search – $25.00
Idaho Supreme & District Statewide Felony & Misdemeanor Search – $25.00 (Add Violations & Infractions – $5)

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. Providers who are out of date with their background checks will receive an email from us before we notify AAA. Please note that AAA may revoke contractor agreements with providers who do not keep background checks up to date.

Does this background check also work for   AGERO?
Yes, Agero has said our background checks cover their requirements.  We have some clients who send the results to both AAA and Agero.

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, then all names must be searched the first time a background check is done.   If it’s a yearly renewal, we will only search the current 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 will do that for you.  AAA OR/ID has a live online list of contractor’s employees searched and not searched. All results are posted for AAA OR/ID to view.*

If this background search is for Agero you will need to send them a copy of our invoice that will have the results of the background check.

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. We will reach out to you to confirm the subject’s still work for you before renewals are ran. 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. See the 2025 AAA OR/ID Disqualifying Crimes List

Message to Agero:  We would be happy to create a live spread-sheet for Agero as well as a custom webpage for background checks.  Just give us a call.  We conduct our searches directly with the courts, not with the outdated data source that Agero currently uses.  Take a look at the companies that Agero uses to conduct background checks, read the fine print and you will see they do not check actual court records.  They use data sources that do not have current court information and may not have correct information.   We check directly with the courts.   Please contact our office for more information and to see how we can help you be diligent in your search. Thank you
