Online Free California Criminal Records

By Claire Dowell


Pre-employment protocol such as background checks has benefitted most workplaces and employers all around the world. Such actions are important steps in reducing hazards and other liabilities in the future that can greatly alter the faade of the company. A document that can satisfactorily provide and answer to this demand are arrest or criminal records.

Arrest or criminal records can fill the concept mentioned above because it is a compilation of a person's past contacts with the law in a particular jurisdiction. From grave felonies to the most benign misdemeanor charges, these documents have them. The issuing of professional licenses, cross-examination of candidates for public office, and application for volunteer child and elderly welfare positions also require the presence of a person's criminal record.

The chief entity that is responsible for the stockpiling and distribution of arrest records in California is the Office of the Attorney General, a branch of the California Department of Justice. Consistent with Section 6254(F) of the California Government Code, all coexisting arrest information of a person arrested in the State must be made known to the public, if they desire to do so. However, once court verdict has been made, the public is not anymore allowed access to the case. It becomes local criminal history information and is now only limited for use in any legitimate law purposes, and by authorized employment agencies. Furthermore, the arrestees themselves can access to their own records of arrest for a comprehensive review of its correctness and completeness.

Informational copies are otherwise available to the parties not specified in the above legislature. Such versions contain the same information as with their certified counterparts, but they are not valid documents to establish identity.

Procuring a print of your own arrest record for the aforementioned reason caps off with the acquisition of a Request for Live Scan Form from the official website of the California Department of Justice. This form is presented prior to the administration of an electronic fingerprint scan by any Law Enforcement agency or independent service providers. In the form, look for the item called, "Record Review" in the "Type of Application" section and place a check on it. Next is to enter the same term in the "Reason for Application" part of the form. Finally, you must complete the information asked of you in the form. Once your fingerprints have been scanned electronically, send them, along with the standard payment of $25.00 by check or money order payable to the mentioned office and state department. The average turnaround time per request is around a few weeks to a few days, and is still dependent on the volume of requests they are catering. Furthermore, third party requests will not be entertained nor processed.

Earth's inhabitants in the 21st century have been blessed to have a continuously-evolving technology. A good evidence convenience ushered in by today's advancements manifests in the procurement of public records via the Internet. In recent years, government bodies and online records retrieval solutions have brought such services over the World Wide Web to cater more requests. Fast, accurate and reliable results can be achieved within minutes after performing a quick search in their respective databases. These alternatives can absolutely make a difference especially if the document is urgently needed for whatever intention you are planning to use it for.
