Arizona Criminal Records Search

Whether you want to see if a potential tenant has a shady past or you want to make sure that you look at court records before you take on a new business partner, there are tons of valid reasons to do an Arizona criminal records search.

If you don’t know the details of these searches, you’re just throwing away your time and cash!

The key takeaway? Not all searches are the same. You might have come across sites that claim they can pull up Arizona criminal court records in no time, but those are usually too good to be true!

In short, if you want reliable, accurate, and current info, it’s best to hire a licensed private investigator for your search.

 

Arizona Criminal Court Records

A licensed private investigator can access a ton of information, pretty much everything a law enforcement officer can!

When your investigator digs into your Arizona criminal records, they’ll check out the Arizona Sex Offender Registry, the Arizona Department of Corrections records, and the files from Arizona’s Administrative Office of Courts. They’ll also look into traffic offense records and county-level documents.

For instance, they can sift through records from Maricopa County’s Justice and Superior Courts, as well as those from Mohave County’s Municipal and Superior Courts, and Pima County’s Superior and Supreme Courts. If you know the person has lived in a specific county, your investigator can focus on that area first before expanding their search to other parts of the state.

By the end of the process, your investigator will be able to tell you if the person has had any felony convictions in the last decade. If they have, you’ll find out when they were arrested, the charges they faced, the case number, and the final outcome of the court case.

And yes, your investigator will go through everything manually. So while you won’t get instant results, you will get them pretty quickly. A skilled investigator knows how to streamline their search effectively. For example, here at Docusearch, we aim to deliver your Arizona criminal records search results within one business day.

On the other hand, the bulk of those websites you see are simply data aggregators. They’re not run by anyone with a license (or even an investigative background!). Instead, they buy up old records, sync them to their computer system, and spit out information that may or may not be reliable. In most cases, these websites have records that haven’t been updated in several years, so they’re definitely not able to give you the full picture!

By going through all of Arizona’s records by hand, a licensed private investigator can make sure that you don’t leave any stone unturned. Plus, he can be on the lookout for any red flags, so that you don’t wind up with false positives.

Arizona Criminal Search

Is there anything that a licensed private investigator CAN’T tell you about someone?

Yes. If the person in question was arrested and convicted as a juvenile, your investigator won’t have access to those records. The same goes for any court records that a judge decided to seal. Those two types of information aren’t available to ANYONE!

What information do you need to provide before the search can begin?

Obviously, you’ll need to give your investigator a starting point. Luckily, though, you don’t have to hand over a dossier of information! Instead, all you’ll need to provide is the name and date of birth for the person in question. Having his Social Security number is helpful, but not mandatory.

How much will it cost to run a legitimate Arizona criminal records search?

The reputable private investigators will charge you a one-time fee. (For example, here at Docusearch we charge $45.) That’s a big difference from those data aggregator websites! They’ll grab your attention with a flashy promise — like free searches — but there will be plenty of hidden fees in the fine print. Usually, those free searches mean that you can look up a person for free, but if you actually want to see the results that come back, you’ll have to hand over some money. In some cases, you wind up getting sucked into an expensive subscription!

Now that you know how everything works, it’s time get your hands on some information! You can make your Arizona Criminal Records Search fast, easy, and affordable by turning to the team at Docusearch.
