Statewide Criminal

Records Check

This is a statewide search of criminal records directly from the state central repository or clerk of courts (when applicable). The "central repository" is the designated/regulatory agency of each state that maintains criminal history records of those individuals whom have been subject to that state's criminal justice system. The vast majority of these records are reported from county courts and law enforcement.

Turnaround Time:: 1-30 Business Days (Depends on the state)

Benefit: Covers a broader search area within the state where criminal records may exist outside of the county-level criminal check where applicant has lived, worked, or studied.

Considerations: Not all states are available. The statewide criminal search is only as accurate and current as the various law enforcement agencies and county courts reporting. Per a recent Department of Justice Study, many county courts are not reporting, reporting regularly, and/or not providing final arrest dispositions. Therefore, this search should only be used as a supplement to a county-level criminal records check.

County-Level Criminal Records Check

(Package Component)

Turnaround Time:  1-3 Business Days (depends on the jurisdiction; delays can occur due to holiday closures, clerk ran searches, or otherwise at mercy of the court).

Recommended: All applicants and counties searched where applicant has lived, worked, and studied for past 7 years. This is the most current, accurate, and reliable way available to uncover a criminal history if one exists, guaranteed!
