Criminal background checks are available at the county court level, state level, multi-state level and at the national background check level. CriminalBackgroundRecords.com offers all these forms of criminal background checks. In the USA the terms criminal background check, criminal history check and criminal records check all mean pretty much the same thing and are used in modern vocabulary interchangeably.
Statewide and national criminal background checks only takes seconds to complete while county criminal checks can take days to complete due to the nature of the county court systems. Criminal background checks typically return felony and misdemeanor criminal records. However, not all counties and states return the same information. This is why it is important to read the search description for a county or state on this website before placing your order.

A county criminal background check is the most up to date, accurate and complete criminal search available. Once a county search is ordered a professional court researcher retrieves the most current files on record at the courthouse or place where records are stored. The search results are then uploaded to the CriminalBackgroundRecords.com System and become available for viewing and printing to the person who placed the order. It is becoming standard practice in the background retrieval industry for county criminal searches to go back seven years especially for employment screening purposes.
County criminal checks return criminal court records, county court records, sex offender records, and other files/records the court has as of that day. The county criminal reports show felony convictions, upper level misdemeanor records, deferred judgments and any other criminal record details on file.
