Some states do not allow public access to state wide criminal records
information. Some states allow online access, while others require written
application forms. Fees vary, and access may require a specific
authorization form and/or specific identifying information such as full
name, address, date of birth, social security number, and county of
residence. Information provided by a statewide record system may be incomplete due to limited date ranges or the limited number of courts and offenses for which records are maintained. “Offender” or “inmate” searches are generally limited to individuals who were sentenced to state prison. Many states provide free online access to sex offender registries (SORs), but information provided through these registries is also limited. Check with the sources listed about such limitations. Criminal records checks include convictions and sometimes arrests. Child abuse registry checks can reveal if a person was named in a report, but registry checks are not available in all states. Contact the state child protective services agency for information on access. When looking for a background check provider, we recommended that you do you homework, ask for referrals and shop around to find the best resource and pricing. | |
