# Adult Abuse Registry Availability

## States where Vetty can run an Adult Abuse Registry Check.

Keeping vulnerable populations safe is serious business. Adult Abuse Registry checks help employers confirm that candidates aren’t listed in state-maintained databases for substantiated abuse or neglect.

Here’s the catch: **not every state has an Adult Abuse Registry**, and among those that *do*, some won’t allow third-party Consumer Reporting Agencies (like Vetty) to run the check on your behalf.

The good news? **Vetty *can* run this check in the states below**, making your screening workflow smoother, safer, and delightfully stress-free.

**Note:** Chat with your Sales Rep or CSM for pricing details. Some states may charge [pass through fees](https://info.vetty.co/hubfs/Marketing%20-%202025/Vetty-Pass-Through-Fees.pdf). We’ll let you know upfront because surprises are for birthdays, not background checks.
