Statewide Criminal Records

Statewide Criminal Records Search

Many states maintain a central repository for criminal records, which aggregates data from all the law enforcement and courts within the state. However, not all states provide access to such a repository. Some states have out-of-date information. We constantly monitor all data repositories and can advise you on the best course of action in any jurisdiction.

Federal Criminal Records

Federal Criminal Records

Federal Criminal offenses are, by definition, crimes committed against the US government. These crimes won’t appear in searches run at a state or county level. Examples of offenses that fall under Federal jurisdiction would be embezzlement, bank robbery, interstate drug trafficking, etc. A Federal Criminal Records search will search any or all of the 300 Federal District Courts.

National Criminal Database

National Criminal Records Database (NCRD)

We recommend this search as a tool to uncover criminal offenses that occurred outside of areas your candidate has lived. This search instantly searches almost one billion records across 50 states and multiple jurisdictions. It contains criminal records and information from municipal, circuit, district and superior court repositories. It also includes the Department of Corrections, the FBI, US Marshal, US Customs, the DEA, the Secret Service, and the Department of Justice, as well as:

• 50-state sex offender registry information
• Healthcare Sanctions
• Financial Sanctions
• Terrorist watch lists
• OFAC (Office of Foreign Asset Control)

All records found from this search are automatically confirmed from the actual source. This helps ensure accuracy and completeness, as well as FCRA reporting compliance (see FCRA 613 (a)(2)).
