Statewide criminal records. One API.
VeritekFL™ is Florida's first statewide automated criminal court records search API, giving background screening companies fast, secure and reliable access to public criminal case data. One connection replaces a slow, 67-county manual process.

Looking for your own court records? VeritekFL is an API for background screening companies, not a public search portal. Contact the Clerk of Court in the county where your case was filed. Coverage excludes juvenile delinquency records, civil traffic infractions, and case documents or images.
VeritekFL was engineered with input from industry partners to replace Clerk-by-Clerk record retrieval with a single automated connection, built on the Comprehensive Case Information System (CCIS).
Send a name, date of birth and optional last four digits of the SSN.
VeritekFL returns standardized statewide criminal case data, typically in under four seconds.
Results integrate directly into your existing background screening platform.
