Criminal Court Records

Criminal records may be searched countywide, statewide or nationwide. Countywide Criminal Arrest Records are searched on-site at the requested county, are generally more accurate and all inclusive of both misdemeanors and felonies for the past ten years. For broader coverage, Statewide Criminal Records cover the entire state but may not include every county in the state and may only return felony charges. For the broadest coverage, Nationwide Criminal Records searches the entire country for recorded felony convictions. Be sure to completely read the criminal records search descriptions and review the coverage areas. For additional guidance on selecting the most appropriate criminal search, refer to the Docusearch Academy articles on the right.

These records include the sex offender registry, all national security databases as well as any regularly updated proprietary criminal databases. For complete coverage of a certain area, please view state specific available resources. Your results will typically include the date of the arrest/offense, charge, case number and disposition for all arrests occurring in the last ten years. This search will not return any juvenile or sealed records, and there is a maximum of ten records searched.

Results typically include the date of arrest/offense, charge, case number and disposition for all arrests; with the exception of juvenile or sealed records.
