How it Works

For metamaps with court record lookups, the lookup is available only if a user has been verified by all other merits in the metamap and has provided enough information to initiate a lookup.

If the user has been verified for all other merits and we have obtained enough information, the court record lookup will execute automatically.

📘

Manually initiate a court record lookup

If a user has failed a check, been rejected, or requires review, the court record lookup will not be available unless you have manually changed their status to "verified."

After you have manually verified a user's status, you can initiate a court record lookup.
