Sex Offenders

Autohost’s Sex Offender Check provides property managers with a powerful tool to screen guests against sex offender registries across the United States. This critical verification layer helps protect your properties, other guests, and the surrounding community.

Our system conducts thorough searches using the guest’s first name, last name, and date of birth to identify potential matches in sex offender databases. Each match includes visual verification tools to help you confirm identities and make informed decisions.

This essential screening component integrates seamlessly with Autohost’s comprehensive verification system, providing an additional layer of security for your properties and peace of mind for your business.

Our Sex Offender Check process is designed to be thorough and efficient:

1. Information Collection: The system automatically collects the guest’s first name, last name, and date of birth from available sources in this order: ID Verification, ID Check, Background Check, Credit Check, Guest Portal, and OTA or API-submitted data (reservation details).

2. Registry Search: Using this information, our Screening AI sends a request to an external vendor that searches sex offender registries across the United States.

3. Results Processing: The search can return multiple potential matches, each with a profile picture and person description to help verify the identity.

4. Results Display: Matches are displayed in the Reservation Details page in a dedicated content box, allowing for quick review and assessment.

Autohost allows you to create custom Business Rules based on Sex Offender Check results:

• Match Detection: Create rules that trigger when at least one match is found in the sex offender registry.

• Automated Flagging: Set up automatic flagging for reservations with potential sex offender matches, ensuring they receive appropriate attention.

• Custom Actions: Define specific actions to take when matches are found, such as flagging for review, sending notifications, or requiring additional verification.

• Risk Integration: Incorporate sex offender check results into your overall risk assessment framework for comprehensive screening.

These customizable rules allow you to align the Sex Offender Check with your specific business requirements and risk tolerance, ensuring appropriate responses to potential matches.

Autohost’s Sex Offender Check is built on a solid legal foundation:

• Megan’s Law: This federal law requires states to make information about registered sex offenders available to the public, providing the legal basis for our registry searches.

• Public Information: All data accessed through our Sex Offender Check is publicly available information provided by state registries, ensuring legal compliance.

• Responsible Use: Our system is designed to help property managers make informed decisions while respecting privacy and avoiding discrimination.

• Best Practices: We recommend using Sex Offender Check results as one component of a comprehensive screening process rather than as the sole basis for booking decisions.

By incorporating this legally compliant screening tool into your verification process, you demonstrate due diligence in protecting your properties and guests.
