When would you need to check someone’s criminal report? A report on an individual’s criminal activity should be requested when a thorough background check is needed. Most of the time this is when you are looking to hire someone to work for either your business or in your home. But it can sometimes be done for other reasons that may have more of a personal nature. Most people would be surprised at what information they can find regarding another person’s life!

A criminal report can be obtained by going through an agency that can compile the information for you or you can simply search online yourself for some of the information. It is possible to gather an individual’s criminal record information from certain online websites, as they are considered public records. While you may not be able to find out all of the information, you should be able to find records pertaining to felonies, traffic offenses and possibly even sex offenses that have been committed by the person. All of this information can be very useful when looking into the background of someone who is going to be working in your home or for your company. There are websites that offer this service for a fee and those that are free. If you are using the free ones, you might want to be certain you are getting up-to-date information about the individual.

If you are ready to search for an individual’s criminal report, then you need some basic information. In court records you need the correct legal name, birth date and social security number if possible. Some people have a completely clean criminal record, but for those that don’t; you can look in court records and find all charges that have been filed against them. There are three different types of crimes. The first is an infraction. This type of crime is not as serious as the others, and usually does not require jail time, just a fine.
