Description of State Criminal Record Search Sources
Note: These state criminal record search sources are not conducted through privately owned criminal databases. They are accessed from state agency criminal record databases or through private companies that are contracted by the state agencies to host and provide access to criminal records.
Note: Criminal record search results vary from state to state. There are some state agencies that will only indicate arrests when fingerprints are submitted. There are other agencies that often will not indicate the desposition of the case as the district attorney's office or the court had not submitted the updated case information. In cases such as this, if the state does not offer an alternative, you will be advised of the limitation of the search. The majority of the searches will provide at a minimum, the case number, charge and disposition.
