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.

Setup

Step 1: Setup verification flow

2339

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:

  1. Direct Link — Send your users a link to enter their information on MetaMap's prebuilt UX
  2. MetaMap Button — Integrate our MetaMap Button SDK into your application to use our prebuilt UX
  3. 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:

  1. Setup the metamap for Court Records in the dashboard
  2. 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

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
638

Court Records: Approved. All 60 checks returned show that the user is approved.

649

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.
