Free Background Checks?
Public records are after all, public records. What this means is that these records are maintained by government agencies that are open without restriction to public inspection, either by statute or by traditional means. There are three places you can find public records:
At a government agency. You may view them directly from the physical source which includes courthouses, recording offices, police departments, state departments and many more government facilities. It means travel, time and expenses with no guarantee that you will find the records you are looking for.
In today's information age, many government agencies offer information sites free and open to the general public to search for public records. We have provided a sample of phrases or keywords to search for in any major search engine that will at least lead you in the right direction should that particular government agency offer any of their records online. It just takes a little bit of time and patience while testing and perfecting your researcher's skills. Please bear in mind that internet culture is based not on offering all available information cluttered into one single page, but by following links to specific topics.
Tip: Please be aware and obey all federal and local privacy laws when conducting background checks on your own or if you are going to make an online public records based hiring or renting decision.
