BeenVerified has got an iPhone application that allows the instant background check of a person right on your iPhone. The BeenVerified Background Check app is definitely handy for those who’re headed for a date with a person that you might have just got to know online or via any speed dating or match-making websites.

Or for some small business owners who plan to meet up with some new clients, so you could just do a background check right on your iPhone of the person that you’re going to meet up with.

The BeenVerified.com Background Check app provides you details of person including the age, address history, relatives, even the properties or any criminal records associated with a person. The application even scans social networking sites to fetch their details and photos. And it can also verify each contact stored on your iPhone’s address book.

Although the BeenVerified app is handy for concerned parents, business owners and online daters but the instant background check has sparked a controversy over privacy rights. Of course, nobody would love to have their own background information to be easily available on another person’s iPhone. Despite that, the BeenVerified has hit 350,000 downloads within a month of its release. It’s now ranked #47 in most popular apps on iTunes. And it’s been used for 1 million plus background checks in just a few weeks.

The BeenVerified allows three free checks a week on your iPhone, if you wanna have more than three checks a week, you can sign up for a premium account that costs you $8 per month, but it’s still much cheaper than getting a company to perform the check which will mostly cost you $19.95 on a single check. The BeenVerified app is now available for download from iTunes. The company is now working on a version 2.0 with more features and a version for BlackBerry and Android devices is on the way.
