Editor's Verdict: First things first - despite the name, GovRegistry.us is not run by or affiliated with the US Government. It doesn't actually claim to be, of course, that would be a felony, but it does go out of its way to make the site feel official, right down to the address. It is, in fact, run by CIS, a company that also "powers" several of the other sites we've reviewed in this category - and it has to be said that they're not generally the most impressive ones. Govregistry.us is not particularly good in our view. It talks a good game, but the service it offers is really nothing special, in fact it's basically the same service as most other CIS-run sites just accessed via a different portal. The front page looks informative, authoritative and slick but the deeper you dig into the website the less substance there is to be found. Customer contact is solely by email, making it easier for the company to ignore you should you feel the need to complain or ask for a refund, which has reportedly been a problem with this site in the past. As is unfortunately the norm on many background searching sites, it is almost impossible to find out what the membership rates are until you've actually submitted your search parameters, at which point they can entice you with the promise that the information you asked for is just one more click away. This makes it difficult to compare different background checking sites and does not inspire confidence in any website that uses such a tactic. Before performing any search you must choose a membership duration (1 month, 3 months or 1 year), which will provide you with access to the members area. Here you can perform unlimited numbers of non-premium searches, such as basic background checks, birth records searches, criminal records check and death records. More sophisticated searches require premium membership. The membership rates are fairly average compared to a lot of other background searching websites. That said, the membership system is unnecessarily complicated, which is usually a bad sign. The charges themselves are one-time payments and non-recurring which is one good thing. There have been complaints in the past about GovRegistry.us returning very poor information or suggesting you pay extra to find the information you want. These may or may not be a fair representation of how this site generally operates, but again it's not a good sign. For all its veneer of authority, GovRegistry is at best a mediocre background checking site and at worst a somewhat dubious one. The bottom line is that there are trusted and reliable background checking sites out there that offer a much better service, so why take a chance on a dubious site. We suggest that you read our reviews of the best background check websites out there.
