What will a criminal record show?
Criminal records, or criminal histories, show any felony arrests and gross misdemeanors. Every time you are arrested and your fingerprints are entered into a national database, this information goes into your criminal record.
Criminal record checks can be requested by an individual. Certain employers may also request criminal histories, such as law enforcement agencies or nanny services. In general, anyone may request to view the criminal history of a person, but the information will only list the arrests and not details. That way, if you have to hire an employee, you can pay a small fee to the state and get a criminal background check.
Sometimes, if you have business outside of the United States, including schooling, adoption, and employment, your host country may ask you for a “Certificate of Good Conduct” or “Lack of Criminal Record.” In this case, you can ask your last local U.S. police department for a copy of your criminal record, which you will need to certify with a notary; write to the FBI and ask for a criminal history; or obtain the document through a third-party service, which will often translate the necessary document into the correct language.
