Archive For Free Criminal Records

By Claire Dowell


Florida Arrest Records are maintained at the Florida Department of Corrections. The records are available for public access because they are deemed as part of public records. To start a search, secure a request form at the department or download it from their official website and complete it with the necessary pieces of information. When completing the form, make sure that you are providing accurate information to have a better chance of finding the right records. There are certain fees that you need to pay to get the records. You can pay them either by money order or through a certified check. Note that once fees are settled, you will not be given a refund even if the records you requested for are not found.

When an arrest is done, it is automatically put into writing even if it does not end up in the imprisonment. The name of the criminal, nature of crime charge against, date and place of arrest, and the arresting officer's name are just some of the details you will see on an arrest document. If the arrested person is proven innocent of the crime he or she is accused of, the arrest documents will be expunged.

You may request your own file especially if you want to check its details. If you identify anything that is inaccurate or not updated, you can notify the Department of Corrections about it so that the proper correction process can be done once they go over the documents.

On the other hand, requesting the records of other people is not that simple. You need to have authorization from the court to get them and there are only a handful of people who are given such. Law enforcers and lawyers are allowed to access them if they need it for a current investigation. Employers and landlords are given access so they can screen job applicants and possible tenants, respectively. Those who are about to marry are also given access so they check the criminal history of their potential lifetime partner. The amount of information that is revealed to those who has access depends on the circumstance or the reason of obtaining the records.

Another way of obtaining arrest files is through online search tools that maintain and offer such files. Online search tools are categorized into two kinds: those that render fees and those that offer the files for free. When you search for these search tools, it is most likely that almost, if not, all of them will claim that they are legit. Unfortunately, not of all them are. Before deciding which one to obtain the files from, conduct a brief background check on them first and find out as much information as you can about them. Refer to the reviews of previous clients and see if they are contented with the files that they got.

It is also possible to get your hands on Free Public Criminal Records. Ask around if they are available in your area. Maybe there is an agency that keeps an archive for such documents. If you cannot find any, you can always turn to conducting an online search. However, do not expect to be given an information-rich version of the documents because, after all, you are getting it for free.
