It is the task of the Department of Justice, Office of the Attorney General to maintain California Criminal Records. Citizens are given the privilege to request the files, thanks to the Freedom of Information Act. Included in the files are important details like the full name of the criminal, crime committed, and when and where it was committed. In cases where the criminal is proven not guilty of a certain crime filed against him or her, that information will not be exposed to the public.

You are allowed to acquire your own files so that you can check if there is any incorrect detail/s included. If you believe that there are details that are not incorrect, secure the Claim of Alleged Inaccuracy or Incompleteness form and supply it with all the required information and send it back to the Department of Justice together with the requested criminal file

To start a search, head to the Department of Justice and secure the Live Scan form. Supply all the necessary information about the record you want to obtain and your own contact details. Next, get your fingerprint scanned at the nearest authorized live scan operator you can find. You will be given a fingerprint card, which you will need to present to the department along with the completed request form, a government-issued ID, and the appropriate fees when you submit your request. There is a separate fee for getting your fingerprint scanned and for requesting the records. You may also request the records at the office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation or directly at the arresting agency where they are originally filed.

The records of other people can also be requested but there are only a select group of people that are allowed to do so. Law enforcers are allowed to access criminal records of people especially if it is necessary for an ongoing investigation. Employers are allowed so they can make sure that they hire employees that abide by the law. Landlords are given access so they can carefully select who they accept as tenants. And there are special cases where an ordinary citizen can view the basics of other people's records for the purpose of conducting a background check.

The records can also be obtained from online service providers that specialized in providing them to the public. There are several of such providers that are authorized by the government but there are also some that are bogus ones. To make sure that you are getting authentic information, conduct a background check on them first. Try to see if other users are satisfied with the kind of information that they were provided with.

There are two types of online service providers: fee-based and those that provide Criminal Records Free To Public. Fee-based service providers usually have the ability to provide extensive versions of the records, which means they can get you a lot of information, while free service providers usually just provide the basics. Once you obtain the records you want, make sure you do not use it to defame, embarrass, harass, or blackmail other people or else you will be punished accordingly by the law.
