convictions

Criminal convictions are a matter of public record, and there are a number of ways to check someone’s criminal history. One way is to contact the local courthouse and request a copy of the person’s criminal record. Another way is to use a commercial background check service. These services typically charge a fee, but they can provide a more comprehensive report than what you can get from the courthouse.

There are a number of reasons why you might want to check someone’s criminal history. For example, you may be considering hiring someone for a job, renting an apartment to someone, or dating someone. Checking their criminal history can help you make an informed decision about whether or not to move forward with the relationship.
