Straightline International Reaffirms Its Role as the Original Criminal Record Provider

Not a CRA. The Source of Authentic Criminal Court Records.


Straightline International today announced a renewed commitment to its founding role in the pre-employment screening industry as the original criminal record provider. Unlike Consumer Reporting Agencies (CRAs), Straightline International’s sole focus is on delivering authentic criminal court records directly from the source. By remaining true to its origins, the company continues to provide the foundation upon which background screening firms build their services — accurate, verifiable, and unaltered court data.


For over [30 years], Straightline International has distinguished itself by refusing to dilute its offerings with add-ons, filters, or bundled services. The company emphasizes that it is not a CRA, but rather what the Professional Background Screening Association (PBSA) defines as a criminal record provider — supplying the raw data that fuels the industry.

“Many firms in our space rely on packaging or interpretations,” said Steven Brownstein, CEO at Straightline International. “We deliver the one thing that matters most: the record itself. We were the first to do it, and we remain committed to being the most reliable provider in the market.”

With a global presence and a reputation built on transparency and accuracy, Straightline International continues to set the standard for direct access to court records, supporting background screening firms, compliance-driven organizations, and employers who demand nothing less than the truth.
