Up until fairly recent times it was almost impossible to run background checks on the general public without finding a private detective and spending a fortune. Now that we have the web 2.0 and readily available databases, this is now a whole lot simpler. 

It’s now possible, if you go to the right website, to fire off a number of serperate searches on zero fee government websites to retrieve criminal records saved against US citizens. The main drawback of this way of working is that you are required to execute searches on countless separate web urls and online databases to discover the data records that you are trying to retrieve. The information is very often saved differently for different states which makes data retrieval a slow task. The good news is that th ere is now a much easier alternative at a very low cost. A hand full of large central databases have been developed by US private businesses that makes it possible to search though all records on a single website. This means it is very simple to use and much quicker to find the records that you need. For a low cost yearly cost of less than $35 you can find criminal records for every single state in the US. All records are searchable by just one website which makes it all very easy. 

There’s even more good news. This same very low annual charge also lets you have access to lots of different types of record that are stored on the multitude of government databases. These include: criminal records, court searches / proceedings, birth and death registers, marriage and divorce lists, sex offenders data, inmate lists, parole searches, personal bankruptcy files, most wanted criminal details, jail registers, missing persons files, DWI lists, assault searches, arrest details and much more

It’s worth noting that a person|a US citizen does not have to have been locked up to have retrievable criminal data held against his name. 

The best web site we have discovered is http://gov-criminal-records.com  This site provides a very fast search functionality and the ability to search a vast amount of US Government fiels all in one place.

So what could we use this information for and can it be useful to you? There are numerous reasons why a low yearly subscription for these searches is worth it’s weight in gold. If you hire staff to help in your house, take your dog for a stroll, or help taking care of your ofspring, you can fire off a quick search on the person’s name and discover if they have been to jail. You could be an employer and might want to launch background checks on potential employees. Again a quick search will provide all the proof you want to make sure you take on the appropriate person. If someone is over the age of 18 and have previously been involved in criminal acts, they will have criminal records held against them that you can now search for and use. 

Yet another great use for this information is if you went on a date and want to run a check on the man you have met. It’s better to discover now than many years down the road when it’s all too late.  Good luck!
