Free Criminal Records Online

By Claire Dowell


It is the task of the Department of Justice, Office of the Attorney General to safeguard California Criminal Records. The documents are made available to the general public because of the Freedom of Information Act. Criminal documents usually reveal a full name of an offender, the crime committed against the law, and the time and place where it was committed. Although the documents are considered a part of the public domain, they are kept from the public if the criminal is proven not guilty as charged.

Any member of the general public is allowed to place a request for criminal documents for the purpose of checking the information included in their documents. If there are any incorrect pieces of information found in the document, the owner may request to have it reviewed and appropriately changed. A Claim of Alleged Inaccuracy or Incompleteness form is available at the Department of Justice. Supply all the necessary details and send it back to the department. Also send back the acquired copy of a criminal file.

To initiate a search, secure a Live Scan request form from the Department of Justice. Fill out the form appropriately with all the required details and also include your contact information. Then have your fingerprint scanned at the closest live scan site and get your fingerprint card. Submit the request form, fingerprint card, ID issued by the government, and the corresponding payment. There is a different payment for requesting the files and for the fingerprint scan. You can submit a request at the federal level by heading to the state's Federal Bureau of Investigation or at a county level by going to the arresting office where the files are initially filed.

It is allowed to access the documents of other individuals but only on special situations. Law enforcers can get access if they need it for an investigation. Landlords are given access so they can have a better idea on their possible tenants. Employers usually access the files when they want to gain some knowledge on their applicants, especially if they want to know if they have done anything against the law or not. Citizens can only access the documents of other citizens if the reason is to conduct a background check; however, only the basic pieces of information are revealed.

If you are looking for another way to acquire criminal files, you can look them up from online search tools that cater to supplying them to the public. You can look for such over the Internet, just be careful with which one you choose because there are fake ones. Initiate a history check on a few that you consider on using so you have a better idea on whether they are capable of supplying genuine information or not. Try to see if past users are contented with their service.

There are two types of online service providers: fee-based and those that provide Criminal Records Free To Public. Fee-based service providers usually have the ability to provide extensive versions of the records, which means they can get you a lot of information, while free service providers usually just provide the basics. Once you obtain the records you want, make sure you do not use it to defame, embarrass, harass, or blackmail other people or else you will be punished accordingly by the law.
