If records are found, they will range from felonies, misdemeanors, petty offenses, traffic offenses, and parking tickets.  You can find anything from shoplifting to credit card fraud and aggravated assault. 

The length of the search depends on the type of record search being ordered.  However, county level criminal record searches go back seven years.  Repositories, such as statewide criminal record searches and the National Criminal Record Index may go back further and other searches, such as address history or professional license searches go back as far as the data is available. 

The information available will vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction but many records will include the party names, such as the petitioner and respondent, the date the case was filed, the case status, and any available judgment information. 

If you believe the report you have received is incorrect, please contact our customer service team at support@checkmycriminal.com.  We will address any inaccuracies on our internal database but we are not responsible for inaccuracies held by our sources.  If you believe a court is misrepresenting your criminal record history, you should consult with a licensed and qualified attorney.

No one can claim to be 100% accurate, complete, or up to date.  Our reports rely on both primary and secondary sources depending on the product being ordered.  However, if you are concerned with someone's criminal history, we recommend a county-level criminal record search for when you need an in-depth report on someone's possible criminal record history. 

In order to conduct a county level, statewide level, or National Criminal Record Index search, we require the subject's name and date of birth.  This way, you will find the information you are actually looking for and not sifting through hundreds of results belonging to other people. 

Results will be emailed to you in a password protected PDF.  The password will be sent separately from the results. 

If a juvenile is tried in an adult criminal court, court records are open to the public.  However, juvenile court proceedings are usually closed to the public and will not be reported.

Nothing is absolute.  Expunged/sealed records are not public information.  However, if the court fails to redact the information, it may still be available through public resources.  If you believe your record should be sealed or expunged, please contact a licensed and qualified attorney to assist you in this matter.
