County Criminal Search
We offer county criminal history searches, the foundation of most background checks, that provide the most current, complete criminal information from county courthouses. Search by counties of residence disclosed on an application or those identified in a Social Security number search or use employment and academic histories to determine additional jurisdictions to search.
Standard county criminal searches cover seven years, though some jurisdictions make extended searches available. Results depend on what records are available, as well as Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) regulations and state laws.
Results may include:
-
Number of years searched
-
County and state
-
Case numbers
-
Disposition and related dates
