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.
Dashboard screen showing a user's background check is available. The "Request Background Check" button is to the left of center.
Otherwise, you will be notified that the court record lookup step is not available.
Dashboard screen showing a user's court record lookup is unavailable. The "Request Background Check" button is disabled.
Setup
Step 1: Setup verification flow
Metamap with Document Verification and Background Checks (Court Records) merits selected.
Add the Background Checks merit in the Dashboard to review a user's court records.
The merit requires the Document Verification merit
Users must upload valid identifying documents as part of this merit.
Step 2: Integrate
There are 3 ways you can use MetaMap's Court Records:
- Direct Link — Send your users a link to enter their information on MetaMap's prebuilt UX
- MetaMap Button — Integrate our MetaMap Button SDK into your application to use our prebuilt UX
- API — Integrate our API into your application and build your own UX
Integrate our MetaMap Button via SDK
Use our SDK integration if you want to use Metamap's verification tools but design your own experience for your users.
To implement this:
- Setup the metamap for Court Records in the dashboard
- Install and implement an SDK framework
###Integrate via API
Use our API Integration if you want to use MetaMap's Court Records endpoints but design your own experience for your users.
Step 3: Process Verification Results
- In the Dashboard
- Using Webhooks
Court Records Results
When we have obtained the completed court records, the Dashboard screen will refresh to show:
- A summary indicating that the user is:
- Approved
- Low risk (Available for BR only)
- High risk
- User data
- A list of searches run against the user. Each search result will have one of three statuses:
- Approved
- Low risk (Available for BR only)
- High risk
Court Records: Approved. All 60 checks returned show that the user is approved.
Court Records: High risk. 2 of 60 checks returned show that the user is high risk.
Webhook verification results
You will need to configure your webhooks, then handle the webhook responses that will be sent to your webhook URL.
