What information is included in a criminal record?
A criminal background record typically includes the defendant’s name, date of birth, case number, date of offense, date filed, charge, the parties involved, county and state of incident, description of offense, alias names used by offender, the status of the case, disposition, disposition date, sentence, and unique characteristics of the individual including height, weight, eye color, race, and sex. The information contained in a criminal record report will vary depending on the state being searched. Regulations, rules and filing practices vary in each jurisdiction, and as a result the information contained in a record from one state in the country could significantly differ from that in another. For instance, some states have pictures available for criminals, which you would receive, while others do not. **Special Note: With each criminal record search you also get a national sex offender registry search and terrorist database search.
