Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements	Basis of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements CoreLogic, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively "we", "us" or "our"), is a leading global property information, analytics and data-enabled services provider operating in North America, Western Europe and Asia Pacific. Our combined data from public, contributory and proprietary sources provides detailed coverage of property, mortgages and other encumbrances, property risk and replacement cost, consumer credit, tenancy, location, hazard risk and related performance information. The markets we serve include real estate and mortgage finance, insurance, capital markets and the public sector. We deliver value to clients through unique data, analytics, workflow technology, advisory and managed services. Clients rely on us to help identify and manage growth opportunities, improve performance and mitigate risk. We are also a party to several joint ventures both domestically and abroad. Our condensed consolidated financial information included in this report has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial information pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual amounts may differ from these estimated amounts. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The 2015 year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 . Interim financial information does not require the inclusion of all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 . The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring items which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year or for any future periods. Client Concentration We generate the majority of our revenues from clients with operations in the U.S. residential real estate, mortgage origination and mortgage servicing markets. Approximately 43.0% and 20.0% of our operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, were generated from our ten largest clients, who consist of the largest U.S. mortgage originators and servicers. Two of our clients accounted for 14.0% and 12.0% of our operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016 . No client accounted for 10.0% or more of our operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015 . Out-of-Period Adjustment During the first quarter of 2015, we identified an error which overstated our interest expense by $5.2 million ( $3.1 million , net of tax), reflected within continuing operations, for the year ended December 31, 2014. We recorded an out-of-period adjustment to correct the error in the quarter ended March 31, 2015, which increased basic and diluted net income per share by $0.03 . We assessed the materiality of this error and concluded the error was not material to the results of operations or financial condition for the prior annual or interim periods. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income includes all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Specifically, foreign currency translation adjustments, amounts related to supplemental benefit plans, unrealized gains and losses on interest rate swap transactions and unrealized gains and losses on investment are recorded in other comprehensive income. The following table shows the components of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of taxes as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 : 2016 2015 Cumulative foreign currency translation $ (102,831 ) $ (114,427 ) Cumulative supplemental benefit plans (3,647 ) (3,540 ) Net unrecognized losses on interest rate swap (5,298 ) (2,699 ) Net unrealized gains on marketable securities 943 550 Accumulated other comprehensive loss $ (110,833 ) $ (120,116 ) Marketable Securities Debt securities are carried at fair value and consist primarily of investments in obligations of various corporations and mortgage-backed securities. Equity securities are carried at fair value and consist primarily of investments in marketable common and preferred stock. We classify our publicly traded debt and equity securities as available-for-sale and carry them at fair value with unrealized gains or losses classified as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , our marketable securities consisted primarily of investments in preferred stock of $23.3 million and $22.7 million , respectively. There were no gains or losses recognized on sales of marketable securities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 . Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest Mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests for which there is a contractual requirement for purchasing the interest are included as a liability of NZD $27.8 million , or $19.0 million , in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 . In January 2016 we acquired the remaining 40.0% interest in New Zealand-based Property IQ Ltd. ("PIQ") and settled the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest as of March 31, 2016 . See Note 12 - Acquisitions for further discussion. Tax Escrow Disbursement Arrangements We administer tax escrow disbursements as a service to our clients in connection with our tax services business. These deposits are maintained in segregated accounts for the benefit of our clients. Tax escrow deposits totaled $5.4 billion as of March 31, 2016 and $340.3 million as of December 31, 2015 . Because these deposits are held on behalf of our clients, they are not our funds and, therefore, are not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. These deposits generally remain in the accounts for a period of two to five business days and we invest the funds in a highly-rated, liquid investment, such as bank deposit products or AAA-rated money market funds. We earn interest income or earnings credits from these investments and bear the risk of any losses. However, we have not historically incurred any investment losses and do not anticipate incurring any future investment losses. As a result, we do not maintain any reserves for losses in value of these investments. Under our contracts with our clients, if we make a payment in error or fail to pay a taxing authority when a payment is due, we could be held liable to our clients for all or part of the financial loss they suffer as a result of our act or omission. We maintained claim reserves relating to incorrect disposition of assets of $19.7 million and $21.2 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively, which is reflected in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance to simplify some provisions in stock compensation accounting. The accounting for income taxes allows all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recognized through income tax expense. The statement of cash flows presentation of excess tax benefits should be classified with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity. An entity may also make an entity-wide election to either continue estimating the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures as they occur. The requirements to qualify for equity classification permits tax withholding up to the maximum statutory tax rates in the applicable jurisdictions. Lastly, payments of cash by an employer for tax-withholding purposes, when directly withholding shares, are classified as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier adoption is permitted but we do not anticipate electing early adoption. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance on equity method accounting related to joint venture investments. The standard eliminates the requirement to retroactively adopt the equity method of accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership or degree of influence related to an investment. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier adoption is permitted but we do not anticipate electing early adoption. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance on derivatives and hedging. The standard clarifies the four-step decision sequence required for assessing whether contingent put and call options that can speed up the payment for a debt instrument’s principal are clearly and closely related to the debt to which they are attached. The standard also clarifies that provided all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met, a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument does not in itself disqualify designation of the hedge. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier adoption is permitted but we do not anticipate electing early adoption. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance on lease accounting. The standard requires all leases in excess of 12-months will be recognized on the balance sheet as lease assets and lease liabilities. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not changed significantly from prior GAAP. For operating leases, a lessee is required to 1) recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payment, 2) recognize a single lease cost over the lease term generally on a straight-line basis, and 3) classify all cash payments within operating activities on the cash flow statement. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier adoption is permitted but we do not anticipate electing early adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements. In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance on accounting for equity investments and financial liabilities. The standard does not apply to equity method investments or investments in consolidated subsidiaries. The update provides that equity investments with readily determinable values be measured at fair value and changes in the fair value flow through net income. These changes historically have run through other comprehensive income. Equity investments without readily determinable fair values have the option to be measured at fair value or at cost adjusted for changes in observable prices minus impairment. Changes in either method are also recognized in net income. The standard requires a qualitative assessment of impairment indicators at each reporting period. For financial liabilities, entities that elect the fair value option must recognize the change in fair value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive income rather than net income. Lastly, regarding deferred tax assets, the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset will need to be assessed related to available-for-sale debt securities. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier adoption is permitted but we do not anticipate electing early adoption. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB issued guidance which requires all deferred tax assets and liabilities, as well as any related valuation allowance, to be classified as non-current on the balance sheet. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years and earlier adoption is permitted. We have elected early adoption on a prospective basis and have presented $12.5 million of deferred income tax assets, long term and $25.3 million of deferred income tax liabilities, long term as of March 31, 2016 in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Investments in Affiliates	Investment in Affiliates, Net Investments in affiliates are accounted for under the equity method of accounting when we are deemed to have significant influence over the affiliate but do not control or have a majority voting interest in the affiliate. Investments are carried at the cost of acquisition, including subsequent capital contributions and loans from us, plus our equity in undistributed earnings or losses since inception of the investment. One of our subsidiaries previously owned a 50.1% interest in RELS LLC ("RELS"), a provider of appraisals and appraisal management services used in connection with mortgage loan originations. This investment contributed 81.3% of our total equity in earnings of affiliates, net of tax, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 . We acquired the remaining interest in RELS in December 2015. See Note 12 - Acquisitions for further discussion.

Senior Notes In May 2011, we issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.25% senior notes due 2021 (the "Notes"). The Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of our existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries that guarantee our Credit Agreement (defined below). Separate financial statements for each guarantor subsidiary are not included in this filing because each guarantor subsidiary is 100% owned and the guarantees of the Notes are joint and several and full and unconditional. The combined accounts of the guarantor subsidiaries, the combined accounts of the non-guarantor subsidiaries, the combined consolidating adjustments and eliminations and the consolidated accounts for CoreLogic, Inc. (the "Parent") for the dates and periods indicated are included in Note 16 - Guarantor Subsidiaries . The guarantees are subject to release under certain customary circumstances. The indenture governing the Notes provides that the guarantees may be automatically and unconditionally released only upon the following circumstances: 1) the guarantor is sold or sells all of its assets in compliance with the terms of the indenture; 2) the guarantor is released from its guarantee obligations under the Credit Agreement; 3) the guarantor is properly designated as an “unrestricted subsidiary;” or 4) the requirements for legal or covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. The maximum potential amounts that could be required to be paid under the guarantees are essentially equal to the outstanding principal and interest under the Notes. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Parent or any guarantor subsidiary to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan. The Notes bear interest at 7.25% per annum and mature on June 1, 2021. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2011. As of March 31, 2016 , we were in compliance with all of our covenants under the indenture. Credit Agreement In April 2015, we amended and restated our senior secured credit facility (the "Credit Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and other financial institutions. The Credit Agreement provides for an $850.0 million five-year term loan facility (the "Term Facility") and a $550.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility") and expires on April 21, 2020. The Revolving Facility includes a $100.0 million multicurrency revolving sub-facility and a $50.0 million letter of credit sub-facility. The Credit Agreement also provides for the ability to increase the Term Facility and Revolving Facility by up to $750.0 million in the aggregate. As of March 31, 2016 , we were in compliance with all of our covenants under the Credit Agreement. Debt Issuance Costs In connection with the amendment and restatement of the Credit Agreement in 2015, we incurred approximately $6.5 million of debt issuance costs of which $0.4 million were expensed in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015. We capitalized the remaining $6.1 million of debt issuance costs within long-term debt, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, and will amortize these costs over the term of the Credit Agreement. When we amended and restated the Credit Agreement in 2015, we had unamortized costs of $14.8 million related to previously recorded debt issuance costs, which we will amortize over the term of the Credit Agreement. In connection with the amendment and restatement of the Credit Agreement, during the three months ended March 31, 2015, we wrote-off $1.6 million of unamortized debt issuance costs. 7.55% Senior Debentures In April 1998, we issued $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.55% senior debentures due 2028. In April 2010, in anticipation of the spin-off of our financial services businesses into a new, publicly-traded, New York Stock Exchange-listed company called First American Financial Corporation ("FAFC") in June 2010 ("Separation"), we commenced a cash tender offer for these debentures and also solicited consent from the holders thereof to expressly affirm that the Separation would not conflict with the terms of the debentures. See Note 11 - Litigation and Regulatory Contingencies for further discussion on the Separation. In April 2010, we announced that valid consents were tendered representing over 50.0% of the outstanding debentures. Accordingly, we received the requisite approvals from debenture holders and amended the related indentures. The indentures governing these debentures, as amended, contain limited restrictions on the Company. Interest Rate Swaps In May 2014, we entered into amortizing interest rate swap transactions ("Swaps"). The Swaps became effective in December 2014 and terminate in March 2019. The Swaps are for an initial notional balance of $500.0 million , with a fixed interest rate of 1.57% , and amortize quarterly by $12.5 million through December 31, 2017 and $25.0 million through December 31, 2018, with a remaining notional amount of $250.0 million . We entered into the Swaps in order to convert a portion of our interest rate exposure on the Term Facility floating rate borrowings from variable to fixed. We have designated the Swaps as cash flow hedges. The estimated fair value of these cash flow hedges resulted in a liability of $8.6 million and $4.4 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively, which is included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as a component of other liabilities. Unrealized losses of $2.6 million (net of $1.7 million in deferred taxes) and unrealized gains of $2.2 million (net of $1.4 million in deferred taxes) were recognized in other comprehensive loss related to the Swaps for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The effective income tax rate for income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing operations before equity in earnings of affiliates and income taxes was 36.4% and 30.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 when compared to 2015 , the increase in the effective income tax rates was primarily attributable to a prior year non-recurring favorable discrete item, which related to an audit settlement for an IRS exam associated with pre-acquisition exposures of Marshall & Swift/Boeckh and DataQuick Information Systems. Income taxes included in equity in earnings of affiliates were $0.2 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. For the purpose of segment reporting, these amounts are included in corporate and therefore not reflected in our reportable segments. We are currently under examination for the years 2005 to 2011 by the U.S. federal and various state taxing authorities. It is reasonably possible the amount of unrecognized tax benefit with respect to certain unrecognized tax positions could significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months. We estimate the unrecognized tax benefit could decrease by up to $23.7 million within the next twelve months. The estimated change is primarily related to IRS audits, subject to the FAFC indemnification, and will have no impact to net income. See Note 11 - Litigation and Regulatory Contingencies for further discussion on FAFC.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 , an aggregate of 0.3 million RSUs, performance-based restricted stock units ("PBRSUs") and stock options were excluded from the weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding due to their anti-dilutive effect.

Fair Value of Financial Instrum

Fair Value of Financial Instruments	3 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]	Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). We utilize market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. The market approach is applied for recurring fair value measurements and endeavors to utilize the best available information. Accordingly, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Fair value balances are classified based on the observability of those inputs. A fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). Level 2 measurements utilize observable inputs in markets other than active markets. In estimating the fair value of the financial instruments presented, we used the following methods and assumptions: Cash and cash equivalents For cash and cash equivalents, we believe that the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments. Restricted cash Restricted cash is comprised of certificates of deposit that are pledged for various letters of credit. We deem the carrying value to be a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the nature of these instruments. Marketable securities Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and are valued using quoted prices in active markets. Long-term debt The fair value of long-term debt was estimated based on the current rates available to us for similar debt of the same remaining maturities and consideration of our default and credit risk. Interest rate swap agreements The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements was estimated based on market-value quotes received from the counterparties to the agreements. The fair values of our financial instruments as of March 31, 2016 are presented in the following table: Fair Value Measurements Using (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Fair Value Financial Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 133,104 $ — $ 133,104 Restricted cash — 11,043 11,043 Marketable securities 23,346 — 23,346 Total Financial Assets $ 156,450 $ 11,043 $ 167,493 Financial Liabilities: Total debt $ — $ 1,326,095 $ 1,326,095 Derivatives: Liability for interest rate swap agreements $ — $ 8,580 $ 8,580 The fair values of our financial instruments as of December 31, 2015 are presented in the following table: Fair Value Measurements Using (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Fair Value Financial Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 99,090 $ — $ 99,090 Restricted cash — 10,926 10,926 Marketable securities 22,709 — 22,709 Total Financial Assets $ 121,799 $ 10,926 $ 132,725 Financial Liabilities: Total debt $ — $ 1,315,473 $ 1,315,473 Derivatives: Liability for interest rate swap agreements $ — $ 4,370 $ 4,370 There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 securities during the three months ended March 31, 2016 .

Stock-Based Compensation

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation We currently issue equity awards under the Amended and Restated CoreLogic, Inc. 2011 Performance Incentive Plan, which was initially approved by our stockholders at our Annual Meeting held on May 19, 2011 with an amendment and restatement approved by our stockholders at our Annual Meeting held on July 29, 2014 (the “Plan”). The Plan includes the ability to grant RSUs, PBRSUs and stock options. The Plan provides for up to 21,909,000 shares of the Company's common stock to be available for award grants. Prior to the approval of the Plan, we issued share-based awards under the CoreLogic, Inc. 2006 Incentive Plan. We have primarily utilized RSUs and PBRSUs as our share-based compensation instruments for employees and directors. The fair value of any share-based compensation instrument grant is based on the market value of our shares on the date of grant and is recognized as compensation expense over its vesting period. Restricted Stock Units For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 , we awarded 729,731 and 693,584 RSUs, respectively, with an estimated grant-date fair value of $24.7 million and $23.8 million , respectively. The majority of the RSU awards will vest ratably over three years from their grant date. RSU activity for the three months ended March 31, 2016 is as follows: Number of Weighted-Average Grant-Date (in thousands, except weighted-average fair value prices) Shares Fair Value Unvested RSUs outstanding at December 31, 2015 1,537 $ 32.92 RSUs granted 730 $ 33.83 RSUs vested (525 ) $ 31.29 RSUs forfeited (30 ) $ 35.14 Unvested RSUs outstanding at March 31, 2016 1,712 $ 33.77 As of March 31, 2016 , there was $43.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSUs that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years . The fair value of RSUs is based on the market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 , we awarded 174,213 and 219,378 PBRSUs, respectively, with an estimated grant-date fair value of $6.0 million and $7.4 million , respectively. These awards are subject to service-based, performance-based and market-based vesting conditions. For the PBRSUs awarded during the three months ended March 31, 2016 , the performance period is from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018 and the performance metric is adjusted earnings per share and market-based conditions. Subject to satisfaction of the performance criteria, the majority of the 2016 awards will vest on December 31, 2018. The performance period for the PBRSUs awarded during the three months ended March 31, 2015 is from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2017 and the performance metric is adjusted earnings per share and market-based conditions. Subject to satisfaction of the performance criteria, the majority of the 2015 awards will vest on December 31, 2017. The fair values of the 2016 and 2015 awards were estimated using Monte-Carlo simulation with the following weighted-average assumptions: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 2015 Expected dividend yield — % — % Risk-free interest rate (1) 0.99 % 0.93 % Expected volatility (2) 25.12 % 24.01 % Average total stockholder return (2) 1.48 % 8.37 % (1) The risk-free interest rate for the periods within the contractual term of the PBRSUs is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. (2) The expected volatility and average total stockholder return is a measure of the amount by which a stock price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate based primarily on our and our peers' historical data. PBRSU activity for the three months ended March 31, 2016 is as follows: Number of Weighted-Average Grant-Date (in thousands, except weighted-average fair value prices) Shares Fair Value Unvested PBRSUs outstanding at December 31, 2015 659 $ 29.15 PBRSUs granted 174 $ 34.29 PBRSUs vested (88 ) $ 26.04 PBRSUs forfeited (91 ) $ 19.50 Unvested PBRSUs outstanding at March 31, 2016 654 $ 33.49 As of March 31, 2016 , there was $19.7 million of total unrecog n ized compensation cost related to unvested PBRSUs that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years. The fair value of PBRSUs is based on the market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Stock Options Prior to 2015, we issued stock options as incentive compensation for certain employees. Option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2016 is as follows: (in thousands, except weighted-average price) Number of Shares Weighted-Average Exercise Price Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term Aggregate Intrinsic Value Options outstanding at December 31, 2015 1,826 $ 21.33 Options exercised (165 ) $ 22.42 Options outstanding at March 31, 2016 1,661 $ 21.22 5.3 $ 22,358 Options vested and expected to vest at March 31, 2016 1,655 $ 21.20 5.3 $ 22,348 Options exercisable at March 31, 2016 1,575 $ 20.70 5.2 $ 22,052 As of March 31, 2016 , there was $0.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.0 years. The intrinsic value of options exercised was $1.9 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. This intrinsic value represents the difference between the fair market value of our common stock on the date of exercise and the exercise price of each option. Employee Stock Purchase Plan The employee stock purchase plan allows eligible employees to purchase our common stock at 85.0% of the lesser of the closing price on the first day or the last day of each quarter. Our employee stock purchase plan was approved by our stockholders at our 2012 annual meeting of stockholders and the first offering period commenced in October 2012. We recognized an expense for the amount equal to the estimated fair value of the discount during each offering period. The following table sets forth the stock-based compensation expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 . For the Three Months Ended March 31, (in thousands) 2016 2015 RSUs $ 7,019 $ 6,015 PBRSUs 1,813 1,780 Stock options 383 563 Employee stock purchase plan 328 374 $ 9,543 $ 8,732 The above includes $1.5 million and $0.6 million of stock-based compensation expense within cost of services in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Litigation and Regulatory Contingencies	Litigation and Regulatory Contingencies We have been named in various lawsuits. Also, we may from time to time be subject to audit or investigation by governmental agencies. Currently, governmental agencies are auditing or investigating certain of our operations. With respect to matters where we have determined that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, we have recorded a liability representing our best estimate of the financial exposure based on known facts. While the ultimate disposition of each such audit, investigation or lawsuit is not yet determinable, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, we do not believe there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss exceeding amounts already accrued may be incurred. The ability to predict the ultimate outcome of such matters involves judgments, estimates and inherent uncertainties. The actual outcome of such matters could differ materially from management’s estimates. We record expenses for legal fees as incurred. Separation Following the Separation, we are responsible for a portion of FAFC's contingent and other corporate liabilities. In the Separation and Distribution Agreement we entered into in connection with the Separation (the "Separation and Distribution Agreement"), we agreed with FAFC to share equally in the cost of resolution of a small number of corporate-level lawsuits, including certain consolidated securities litigation matters from which we have since been dropped. There were no liabilities incurred in connection with the consolidated securities matters. Responsibility to manage each case has been assigned to either FAFC or us, with the managing party required to update the other party regularly and consult with the other party prior to certain important decisions, such as settlement. The managing party will also have primary responsibility for determining the ultimate total liability, if any, related to the applicable case. We will record our share of any such liability when the responsible party determines a reserve is necessary. At March 31, 2016 , no reserves were considered necessary. In addition, the Separation and Distribution Agreement provides for cross-indemnities principally designed to place financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of our predecessor, The First American Corporation's ("FAC") financial services business, with FAFC and financial responsibility for the obligations and liabilities of FAC's information solutions business with us. Specifically, each party will, and will cause its subsidiaries and affiliates to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party, its respective affiliates and subsidiaries and each of its respective officers, directors, employees and agents for any losses arising out of or otherwise in connection with the liabilities each such party assumed or retained pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement; and any breach by such party of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

Guarantor Subsidiaries [Abstract]
Guarantor Subsidiaries	Guarantor Subsidiaries As discussed in Note 6 - Long-Term Debt , the Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of our existing and future direct and indirect subsidiaries that guarantee our Credit Agreement. These guarantees are required in support of the Notes, are coterminous with the terms of the Notes and would require performance upon certain events of default referred to in the respective guarantees. The indenture governing the Notes provides that the guarantees may be automatically and unconditionally released upon the following circumstances: 1) the guarantor is sold or sells all of its assets in compliance with the terms of the indenture; 2) the guarantor is released from its guarantee obligations under the Credit Agreement; 3) the guarantor is properly designated as an “unrestricted subsidiary;” or 4) the requirements for legal or covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. The maximum potential amounts that could be required to be paid under the guarantees are essentially equal to the outstanding principal and interest under the Notes. The following condensed consolidating financial information reflects the separate accounts of the Parent, the combined accounts of the guarantor subsidiaries, the combined accounts of the non-guarantor subsidiaries, the combined consolidating adjustments and eliminations and the Parent's consolidated accounts for the dates and periods indicated.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Client Concentration We generate the majority of our revenues from clients with operations in the U.S. residential real estate, mortgage origination and mortgage servicing markets. Approximately 43.0% and 20.0% of our operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, were generated from our ten largest clients, who consist of the largest U.S. mortgage originators and servicers. Two of our clients accounted for 14.0% and 12.0% of our operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016 . No client accounted for 10.0% or more of our operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015 .
Comprehensive Income, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income includes all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Specifically, foreign currency translation adjustments, amounts related to supplemental benefit plans, unrealized gains and losses on interest rate swap transactions and unrealized gains and losses on investment are recorded in other comprehensive income.
Marketable Securities, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Marketable Securities Debt securities are carried at fair value and consist primarily of investments in obligations of various corporations and mortgage-backed securities. Equity securities are carried at fair value and consist primarily of investments in marketable common and preferred stock. We classify our publicly traded debt and equity securities as available-for-sale and carry them at fair value with unrealized gains or losses classified as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , our marketable securities consisted primarily of investments in preferred stock of $23.3 million and $22.7 million , respectively. There were no gains or losses recognized on sales of marketable securities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 .
Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest [Policy Text Block]	Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest Mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests for which there is a contractual requirement for purchasing the interest are included as a liability of NZD $27.8 million , or $19.0 million , in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 . In January 2016 we acquired the remaining 40.0% interest in New Zealand-based Property IQ Ltd. ("PIQ") and settled the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest as of March 31, 2016 . See Note 12 - Acquisitions for further discussion.
Escrow Administration Arrangements [Policy Text Block]	Tax Escrow Disbursement Arrangements We administer tax escrow disbursements as a service to our clients in connection with our tax services business. These deposits are maintained in segregated accounts for the benefit of our clients. Tax escrow deposits totaled $5.4 billion as of March 31, 2016 and $340.3 million as of December 31, 2015 . Because these deposits are held on behalf of our clients, they are not our funds and, therefore, are not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. These deposits generally remain in the accounts for a period of two to five business days and we invest the funds in a highly-rated, liquid investment, such as bank deposit products or AAA-rated money market funds. We earn interest income or earnings credits from these investments and bear the risk of any losses. However, we have not historically incurred any investment losses and do not anticipate incurring any future investment losses. As a result, we do not maintain any reserves for losses in value of these investments. Under our contracts with our clients, if we make a payment in error or fail to pay a taxing authority when a payment is due, we could be held liable to our clients for all or part of the financial loss they suffer as a result of our act or omission. We maintained claim reserves relating to incorrect disposition of assets of $19.7 million and $21.2 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively, which is reflected in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
