**The California instant criminal search order results often do not contain offense descriptions. The results usually show which county the record exists in. Once you receive your order results, if the information contained is limited, we will perform one FREE county level search for you. If your results only include traffic records we will not perform the county level search because traffic records are not included in the county search. Please send an email to service@CriminalBackgroundRecords.com requesting us to place the FREE California county search and include your order number and the county name. If records from multiple counties exist, please specify the county you would like us to process. To order the remaining counties, see the California county criminal search link below.

*** We recommend to customers who are looking for a specific criminal record, to place a county criminal search over the instant statewide criminal search. This is because our county search can return more detailed information. To perform a California county level search, see the California county criminal search link below.

California Sex Offender Report Description:

We check the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons list maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") of the U.S. Department of the Treasury with every criminal search. OFAC administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions based on United States foreign policy and national security goals against targeted foreign countries, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, and those engaged in activities related to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. As part of its enforcement efforts, OFAC publishes a list of individuals and companies owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of, targeted countries. It also lists individuals, groups, and entities, such as terrorists and narcotics traffickers designated under programs that are not country-specific. Collectively, such individuals and companies are called "Specially Designated Nationals" or "SDNs." Their assets are blocked by law and American individuals and companies are generally prohibited from dealing with SDNs. Results have full name, date of birth if known, address, country, title, program, remarks like AKA’s. These records are screened individually and carefully, and reported to the proper law enforcement entities when a match is made.
