Each of us has several reasons why we need to get a background check on ourselves or check another individual's records. Criminal records are restricted by the California State. However, records that have received convictions are open to the public and as such; one can access the records at their own convenience. Getting a background check on oneself would ensure that your history is clean or it might need some corrections if you had been arrested in the past. On the other hand, a search for another person's record can come in handy especially when one wants to keep his or her home or workplace safe and secure. By carrying out a search on a person, one can prevent, for example, a sex offender from becoming a caretaker of one's home or kids. California criminal records are available from the DOJ; however, one can also get the records from the Superior Court or the County Clerk office where the case was filed. Records that are restricted from the public include juvenile court cases, pending litigation, and arrest reports with the victim's information and reports of probation or domestic violence.

For those interested to see their own records, residents can request a background check to be made for them by the Department of Justice. The person requesting the report should download a form made available by the Office in its website, go to a Live Scan center to have their fingerprints taken and submit these to the DOJ. Fingerprint agencies are usually located in one's local law enforcement such as the sheriff's office or one of the designated fingerprint agencies.

For those who live out of state or are not in the California currently, they can download a form from the DOJ's website and contact the local fingerprint agency in the place where he is currently residing. He should mail the request after completing the fingerprint scan to the DOJ. Fingerprint agencies are available through authorized agencies or local law enforcement office. Payments must be made via checks issued by a US bank or money order. The State does not charge other fees except for the above-mentioned government fee; however, fingerprint agencies might charge additional fees to cover the cost of the fingerprints.

To obtain public criminal case records, the person requesting the report should indicate the case number to the DOJ or to the Superior Court. If the case number is unknown, one can perform a self-search by using the criminal case index database in the Superior Court. He can also visit the Clerk of the County Office where the case was filed to request for the copy. One can also send in their request through mail to the County Clerk. The search is free; however, searches that will take up more than 10 minutes searching time will incur charges.

Another convenient way for one to retrieve arrests search or criminal records is to use third party providers who offer public search records. One can take advantage of the services, as they no longer need to make a written request, visit the courts and go in person to their local police offices. Some third party sites also accept the use of credit cards in purchasing these records so it is convenient especially if one is too busy to go to the bank or requires the records urgently.
