Criminal Records
How do I interpret the criminal search results?
While our Criminal Searches can yield useful information, please use extreme caution in interpreting the results of any criminal background search. A positive match does not guarantee the nature or even existence of an individual's criminal record. StateRecords.org is not responsible for explaining or analyzing Criminal Search results. For assistance in interpreting criminal records and other official documents, please contact a competent legal professional.
In which US states can I search criminal records?
Some states do not permit access to certain types of criminal records, or restrict the types of information that may be retrieved by a criminal search. As a result, not all searches will return reports or records. Please refer to our Data Coverage page for a state by state guide to available records.
