Identifiers
Full legal name, aliases, DOB, SSN (if authorized), and known addresses to maximize accurate matches across data sources.
A consistent form reduces errors, documents consent, and supports defensible search procedures while making results reproducible for audits or legal review. It clarifies scope, preserves source citations, and helps meet regulatory obligations when searches involve protected data or official records.
The Noble Life Searches Document is used by in‑house investigators, background screening vendors, probate researchers, title and closing teams, and compliance officers when searching public and proprietary records.
Multiple stakeholders often review the completed form: the requester, the researcher who performed searches, and a compliance or legal reviewer when sensitive data is involved.
