F.A.Q.

Since we link directly to these databases for each criminal record request, our data is “real time” relative to the database being searched. The different databases update in varying frequencies ranging from daily to monthly.

Our data is accessed directly from court, corrections, and other criminal justice agencies. Our online searches do not use third party information.

Each state has its own individual laws regarding criminal records and their access. Some states require applications, fees, and lengthy turn-around times. We focus on criminal record databases that do not have such lengthy time constraints.

Statewide criminal records include information on individuals that have violated local or state laws, within that particular state’s Judicial system. Statewide criminal record databases will generally be misdemeanor and felony records depending on database. Federal criminal records are generally more serious violations that fall under Federal statutes. Some examples would be drug trafficking, kidnaping, interstate transportation of stolen goods, bank robbery, and embezzlement. Each state has at least one District Court where these criminal records are located. Federal criminal records generally will not appear in a statewide criminal records search.

Each state has its own records availability for public access. In some cases, only felonies and more serious misdemeanors are searched. Please read our search descriptions to verify fitness. Also, most states seal juvenile records and some may purge older records. All databases searched rely on criminal justice agencies to submit records accurately and completely, this process can also fail. We can not control these various factors and therefore do not guarantee 100% accuracy.
