Accurint is a fee-based version of which database?

• A. PACER
• B. LexisNexis
• C. NCIC
• D. Archive.org

Answer: (B)

Accurint is built on LexisNexis, a major provider of public records and investigative data. LexisNexis collects vast amounts of information—public records, court records, news, and business data—and Accurint packages that data for investigators with specialized search tools and linking, available by subscription. That paid, investigator-focused access is why Accurint is described as a fee-based version of LexisNexis. PACER is a federal court docket system, NCIC is a controlled FBI crime information system, and Archive.org is a free Internet archive. None of these form the base database behind Accurint.
