Criminal Records Search products offer a highly valuable service! They allow you to find out if someone has (or ever had) a criminal history anywhere in the United States. Unlike employment based criminal record searches, which have imposed limits on how far back they can report, these same searches for personal use can go back as far as the records exist which can be more than 15 years. Each of the following recommended products make Criminal Records searches easy. Just visit the site you like by clicking on their site name or logo. I have personally tested each of the top three sites and stand behind them all.

USSEARCH.COM has recently risen to the top of our criminal records check recommendations. They were featured in the Wall Street Journal as the public records site providing the most detailed results. They are a very reputable and reliable company with access to billions of public records. I recently conducted my own testing of their site and was more than pleased with the very detailed results. I was even more impressed by their live customer support!

Criminal-Records.com We consider this to be the second best site. They have an easy-to-use interface and, in our testing, had very accurate results. This product's fee structure falls under the "Bucket Plan" which we recommend you understand by reading our General Cost Information section. Also in that section you can better understand if the "Unlimited Add-On" is worth the extra money. It can be a great thing to take advantage of in certain circumstances.

CriminalRegistry.org is a solid option but its matching system is not as robust making it a little harder to find the right John Doe prior to running the report. They also do not offer live phone support but rather assist via email. This product's fee structure falls under the "Bucket Plan". We highly recommend you read our General Cost Information section so you understand what this means and also if the Unlimited Add-On is worth it in your situation.
