In Alaska, you can’t afford a mistake.
Know exactly who you’re trusting.
From Anchorage to remote job sites, Alaska’s small business environment means you often have to trust people fast — and the consequences of getting it wrong are amplified by distance, isolation, and high operating costs. Get the full picture before you commit.

Independent data checks
Remote locations. High stakes.
No margin for unverified trust.
Alaska’s unique business environment — seasonal industries, remote worksites, and a transient workforce that moves through every season — creates real risk for anyone who hires or works with people they’ve never met before. A two-minute background check is the easiest thing you can do.
The equipment operator who wasn’t licensed for what he claimed
Alaska’s oil, gas, and construction sectors require workers with specialized credentials. Fraudulent certification claims on remote job sites are harder to catch — and far more dangerous and costly — than anywhere else in the country.
Credential fraud on Alaska job sites can result in six-figure liability claims
The seasonal lodge employee who walked off with guest valuables
Alaska’s tourism and hospitality economy runs on seasonal staff hired quickly at the start of every summer season. Without identity verification, you’re trusting strangers with guest property, cash, and your business’s reputation.
Tourism-related employee theft costs Alaska hospitality businesses significantly every season
The out-of-state contractor who came up for the season
Alaska attracts contractors from across the country for high-paying seasonal work in construction, fishing, and oil. Some are exactly who they say they are. Others have histories they left behind in the lower 48.
Transient contractor fraud is among the top business complaints filed in Alaska annually
From Anchorage lodge owners to remote site managers —
this is who checks first.
Alaska’s economy is built on oil and gas, fishing, tourism, and construction. In every one of these industries, you’re regularly trusting people you’ve just met with high-value assets, remote access, and your business’s reputation.
Construction & resource industry operators
Whether you’re managing a construction site, a pipeline crew, or a remote extraction operation, you’re constantly onboarding workers from out of state with credentials you can’t easily verify on-site. TellData gives you a fast identity and watchlist check before anyone starts.
- Screen contractors
- Check subcontractors
- Verify identity before travel
Tourism & hospitality business owners
Alaska’s lodges, tour operators, fishing charters, and adventure companies hire seasonal staff from across the country every spring. A quick TellData lookup before the season starts is the simplest protection you can add to your hiring process.
- Screen seasonal staff
- Verify guides & operators
- Check lodge employees
Private lenders & business investors
Alaska’s high-cost environment means private lending and investment carry elevated risk. When someone asks you to back their fishing operation, lodge, or supply business, a two-minute identity check before any money moves is the minimum due diligence.
- Identity verification
- Watchlist screening
- SSN trace
Six checks. One report. Two minutes. Done.
You get the full picture — not a surface-level search. Every report combines six independent data checks into one clear, plain-English summary.
Criminal records search
Searches national court and criminal databases for records matching the provided name and any state or county criteria you supply.
SSN trace & address history
Verifies the Social Security Number is real and tied to the name they gave you — plus every address ever linked to it.
Watchlist & sanctions screening
Cross-references global watchlists, PEP databases, and U.S. sanctions lists for any matching records.
Phone & email identity check
Confirms the phone and email actually match the name they gave you — or flags it when something doesn’t line up.
Digital footprint review
Shows which apps, platforms, and services are linked to the email address. More data points, clearer picture.
Social profile references
Surfaces linked social accounts to check name consistency and catch any public-facing identity discrepancies.
Final verdict: every report ends with a plain-English result — Clear, Review, or Flag. No guesswork, no jargon. You know exactly what to do next.

Less than the cost of one bad hire in Alaska.
Which, up here, is saying a lot.
In Alaska’s high-cost operating environment, one unverified worker or contractor on a remote site can create liability that outpaces the entire season’s revenue. A TellData report costs less than a meal in Anchorage.

They checked. It paid off.
“I run a fishing charter out of Homer. Every season I’m bringing on crew I’ve never worked with before, often from out of state. TellData is part of my pre-season process now. Found a name mismatch on a deckhand application last May that raised enough questions to keep looking.”
“We operate a remote lodge and hire 12 to 15 seasonal staff every summer. The isolation means if something goes wrong, it’s hard to fix fast. TellData gives me confidence that the people I’m trusting with guests and with the property are who they say they are.”
“I manage a construction crew that works remote sites across the state. Credential fraud is a real problem up here — workers claim certifications they don’t have. TellData doesn’t verify every license, but the identity and watchlist check has already saved me from two bad situations.”
Things people usually ask.
Yes. TellData searches national databases and public records across all Alaska boroughs and census areas. Coverage depth depends on available court and public records data per jurisdiction — some remote areas may have less comprehensive local court records than urban areas like Anchorage or Fairbanks.
Yes — this is one of the most practical uses of TellData in Alaska. Because so much of Alaska’s seasonal workforce comes from the lower 48, TellData searches national databases, not just Alaska state records. You can look up anyone in the U.S. using a name plus phone, email, or SSN — regardless of what state they’re from.
No. Credentials such as trade tickets, licences, and safety certifications are issued by state boards and training bodies and should be verified with the issuing authority. TellData verifies the person — identity, address history, public court records, watchlists, and digital footprint.
You can start with just a name plus a phone number or email. Adding an SSN significantly improves the depth of the address history and identity trace. The more identifiers you provide, the more complete the report.
No. The Single Report is a one-time purchase valid for 365 days. Monthly plans can be cancelled any time — no contracts, no lock-in.
No. TellData is a people search and identity verification tool for personal due diligence — not an FCRA-regulated employment screening service. It cannot be used as the basis for employment, credit, housing, or insurance decisions. It is designed for small business owners, landlords, and private individuals who want to make smarter trust decisions.
