Criminal Record Services
This is the most accurate, up-to-date and legally-compliant method of searching. We can search any county nationwide. This search is performed at the county level and returns felony (more serious crimes) and misdemeanor (less serious offenses) records that are filed in the county and municipal court(s).
Field agents or researchers perform the searches using the public access system available. Public access systems include computer terminals, index books or index cards. In some states, public access is not available and the court clerks perform the searches. All searches cover at least the past 7 years; clients can request 10 years and often do.
The result will indicate that no record was found, or provide the information of any records located. Record information generally includes the case number, offense and file dates, charge and charge level, disposition date, disposition and sentence. All records will also indicate the identifiers found on each case. The name on file will be provided as well as the date of birth and/or social security number on file. In the case of a name match only, we will provide the address, physical description and/or license number on file, if available.
