"Highly Satisfied"

"The investigator-led approach makes all the difference. I feel confident with every decision now."

Steve Hailey - Tech Business Owner

The Vision Behind eKnowID

In 2013, Kenneth Coats saw a problem most people overlooked—individuals and microbusinesses didn’t have access to the same high-quality background checks trusted by law enforcement and government agencies. As the CEO of KENTECH, a top-tier investigative firm, he knew the risks of relying on automated, database-only screening.

When he and his wife were expecting their first child and searching for a trustworthy nanny, that challenge became personal—and eKnowID was born.

Today, eKnowID makes it possible for everyday decision-makers to access investigator-led, deeply vetted background checks that go far beyond algorithms. We believe every hire, every partnership, every investment deserves the same level of diligence trusted by professionals at the highest level.

No guesswork. No shortcuts. Just real reports from real investigators.

Still Have Questions?

We’ve Got Answers.

What is eKnowID?

eKnowID is a premium background screening service that delivers investigator-verified reports for individuals, microbusinesses, and landlords. Unlike typical instant checks, our reports are reviewed by real investigators, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and peace of mind.

Who is eKnowID for?

eKnowID is ideal for:

Small business owners and startups
Landlords and property managers
Individuals screening nannies, tutors, or caregivers
Freelancers or solopreneurs hiring contractors

What makes eKnowID different from other background check companies?

Most background checks are automated and rely solely on public databases. eKnowID goes further — every report is backed by real investigative professionals who manually verify key information. We’re also powered by KENTECH Consulting, a trusted name in federal and law enforcement screening.

How long does it take to get a report and I cancel anytime in the software?

Most reports are delivered within 1 to 3 business days, depending on the depth of the package and the complexity of the verification. Some checks may take slightly longer due to third-party verifications (like employers or institutions).

Are your background checks FCRA-compliant?

Yes. All our reports are fully FCRA-compliant, making them suitable for employment decisions, tenant screening, and other legally governed use cases.

Is my personal information secure?

Absolutely. We use industry-standard encryption and secure servers to protect your data. Your information is only used for the purpose of completing the background screening process

Do I need permission from the person I’m screening?

Yes. If you're conducting a background check on someone else (e.g., for employment or rental), written consent is required as part of FCRA compliance. Our process includes tools to help you easily collect authorization.

How do I get started?
