Best Answer

Arrest records are public domain, and are often listed on state or county websites.

If you search for "free background checks" you will find tons of advertisements. Unfortunately, none of them are actually free. In the end, they all charge. They just try to hook you in hoping you will end up just paying for the report. If you want a full background check report on someone, you will have to pay for it.

There are no publicly accessible websites or databanks that are capable of doing this. There are commercial websites that advertise that they can accomplish this service but it is not true. The only repository for nationwide criminal information is the NCIC computer system operated by the FBI and accessible only to law enforcement agencies.

Most police agencies charge a small administrative fee ($5 -$20) for the check - and you can only get a background check on YOURSELF.

There are no free background checks. There will always be some type of fee involved. If it is free, I would not depend on the accuracy. As the old saying goes: "You get what you pay for."

How can you find out if someone has run a criminal background check on you?

You can request a copy of your own criminal background check from a reputable background check company or contact the police department in the jurisdiction where the check may have been conducted. Some background check companies also offer notification services that alert individuals if their background has been requested. Alternatively, you can ask the person directly if they have conducted a criminal background check on you.


Can you get in trouble from a background check?

I only time I would imagine someone getting in trouble from a background check is if they lied about something in their application, or to someone, and then their background check would say otherwise. Or if a person has any outstanding arrest warrants found on their background check report, and then the authorities are called to arrest him/her.
