Find Free Arrest Records California Online

By Ben Kingsley


For employers who are checking potential applicants or those who want to make sure if they have records, they can do so by visiting the Office of Attorney General' website. California arrest records are public records; however, not all records are available to the public especially criminal records. Law enforcement agents and agencies that are authorized by the DOJ have the sole access to the records; however, one can retrieve one's own criminal records. For those who are looking for current inmates, they can do so by checking the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation site.

For residents of California, they are required to submit a fingerprint image scan and pay a $25 processing fee. The applicants are requested to download and fill up the Live Scan form. Applicants should choose the type of application they need and indicate the reason for the application. Take the application form to any of the fingerprint service centers. The fingerprint service can be accessed through local police departments or any establishments that are authorized by the DOJ. Some service centers charge other fees aside from the $25, which is mandatory by the DOJ, for rolling feed or any other fees.

For out of state residents, they can obtain their criminal records by downloading another form from the website. The form "State Summary Criminal History Records" is also available in the site. Applicants should fill up the form and head to the fingerprint agency in the state or place they are currently residing. All fees or payments should be in check or money order and addressed to the DOJ office.

The normal processing time takes about seven business days and for individuals who apply through agencies, they can get their result from the agency center. There are some cases when the processing will be extended and follow up is necessary to resolve the matter. Poor fingerprint quality scan, incorrect information and records with positive results are some of the common contributing factors causing processing delays. For follow up, applicants can avail of the automated phone system to make their inquiries.

Those applicants with positive arrest records can clean up their records by appealing to the court. Those that are eligible include applicants who have misdemeanour or minor offenses under them. Understanding the conviction can be helpful to ensure that one gets to fill up the correct forms. Payment of $120 is charged to the person with probation and a $60 for those who have no probation.

Some law enforcement agencies have their rules and regulations pertaining to obtaining personal records. To ensure that one's request is processed rapidly, they may want to phone in their inquiries especially when it comes to requirements needed. To save time, one can also check out free online arrest records searches. Although the information is limited, the information you might need might be included in the released information. Some companies will deliver the full results for a minimal fee. The government also provides a free search portal for people who are looking for sex offenders in the site.
