Criminal Record Search

There are many situations that require a criminal record search. Luckily all jurisdictions, from local to federal, keep detailed records of crimes ranging from parking tickets to misdemeanors to felonies. There are databases containing records of trial verdicts, convictions, jail sentences, prison inmates, parolees, and even sex offenders.

So why would you want to do a criminal record background check?

  • Prospective employers often look up criminal records when vetting applicants or verifying facts on job applications. This is especially true for jobs involving children or money handling.

  • Landlords and property managers need to do a criminal record search to confirm that the person they are renting a property to will not cause harm to neighbors or become a liability for them.

  • Ordinary people find criminal records handy when they are trying to get information about someone they are acquainted with.

    • Before you decide whether or not you want to go out on a date with someone, it’s often a good idea to be aware of any violent crimes they may have committed in the past. Since a criminal court record is public information, it seems silly not to obtain one before you place blind trust in a stranger.

    • While it could be a love interest that someone wants to learn more about, sometimes people just want to know who their friends really are, or what their enemies may have done in the past.

Even for those who aren’t using a criminal record search for official reasons, a service like GovernmentRecords.com can be extremely useful. The person being searched for is never made aware that someone is doing research on them. It is completely confidential and inclusive of all records from all databases. Some people even use this service to do an exhaustive search on their own records, so they are fully aware of the information about them that is available to the public.
