How To View Someone’s Public Criminal Records

May 11th, 2010

Conducting a background search on a person reveals a lot of information about the person such as his past criminal background, arrest warrants, marriage and divorce records, sex offences and other information. You might need some type of information according to your need. For instance, if you want to appoint a nanny for your little one, then you would want to ensure that the nanny is not a child-abuser. If you want to employ someone for handling cash matters in office, you would want to confirm whether the person is honest and whether he has ever been arrested for any scams or frauds in the past. It could be possible that your daughter might insist on marrying her boyfriend whom you do not know well, then it is always advisable to conduct a background check on the person as it involves the entire life of your daughter. Be sure to access someone’s criminal record check.

In order to conduct a background check on a person, you can first try out searching with the help of Google. You could type the full name of the person in quotes and search for results. There could be many people with the same name. If you have the social security number of the person, then it will simplify your search and you will get access to the past background of the person onscreen. State governments generally have criminal records of a person published online. There is though some information like juvenile crimes that is meant to be confidential and not put up online. It’s smart to take care of yourself and your family by doing a criminal background checks.

Next, you need to get in touch with the references she has given and ask them about their opinion of the nanny. If the references given are past employers, then ask them about her work, her efficiency, her honesty and character and whether they would recommend her to you for the job. In case they are not her past employers, then it is quite possible that the references are some close friends of the nanny. So, make it a point to go and meet each of the past employers and take their personalized opinion. Ask them for how long she worked at their place, how good she was at her job and what was the reason for her to stop working for them.

You can conduct a background check on her by searching through the public records database that is provided by many private agencies for a fee. Be very sure to check if she has any sex offences against her or any driving violations committed by her.

However, if this doesn’t work out well, then there is a very good option and that is trying out several websites on the Internet who maintain public records. You can log on to few of these websites and type in the name, birth date and social security number of the person and all information of the person ranging from his marriage, divorce, criminal offenses committed, arrests and convictions will show up. However, if you wish to get this data from these websites for free, then you will have to try out several websites. There are only few websites that offer information for free and that too limited information. Giving a mere $50 and getting a complete report on the person’s criminal background is a very small price to pay.
