Instant People Check offers
County Courthouse searches for all counties in
Minnesota. We actually send a court researcher physically to the county
courthouse to request any available records for your subject.
Instant People Check also offers a Statewide Criminal Records
database search for Minnesota.
This database search includes administrative records of statewide criminal convictions on persons who have been convicted of felonies and/or gross misdemeanors as defined by Minnesota state law and sentenced to serve jail time, probation, parole or suspended sentence since 1982.
