National
Criminal Record Search
(National Availability)
This is not a single, nationwide search. Only
law enforcement agencies are authorized access to the one available
source of nationwide criminal records, the National Crime Information
Center (NCIC) System. National arrest records are accessed either on a
statewide basis (such as Florida) or at the county level in states that
do not disseminate arrest information on a statewide basis. At the
present time approximately 20 states permit statewide access to arrest
records, however, some only provide conviction information. Further,
different states have different criteria about what information is made
available on a statewide basis. For that reason, whenever possible, it
is advisable to check at the county level. Records obtained either at
the state or the county level are usually available in three (3) working
days.
| Note: While the cost of
this service is the same for most statewide or individual county
inquiries, access fees levied by some jurisdictions can vary
greatly. Call for more information on pricing and estimated turn
around time. |
