We know you understand that the foundation of a thorough criminal background check is a search for felony and misdemeanor records at the local courthouse. Our county criminal court searches are conducted on-site at the local courthouse or records location. Despite this labor intensive process, our highly efficient court researcher network completes most court record searches within 1-3 business days. Additional court fees may apply in certain counties. Court fees are billed at cost and are in addition to the research fee.
