Finding out people’s background information is the backbone of the background check industry. For reasons ranging from finding out about a new lover to checking a driver doesn’t have a DUI, finding out the truth about someones past is absolutely crucial.
And before today, doing that was pretty difficult. You had to send a request off to a big company and they normally took a few days to bring back a hit-or-miss file on your target. This was then delivered by the snail mail (post) and the whole affair generally took a few days. It was clumsy and very unreliable. Luckily, there are now websites on the Internet which allow you find out someones criminal convictions all from the comfort of your armchair, in seconds.
This is done using “background check” websites and it’s all very simple. Essentially, the background check website will purchase lots of public records from all the courthouses in America. It then puts all the data it finds into a central database which you can search. You are then invited to search through the information and purchase background checks on whoever you want. These background checks are then compiled in seconds and are presented to you instantly.
The whole process is done automatically and is extremely transparent (you can see exactly what’s happening every step of the way). And because the Internet companies behind these background checks websites can afford to get more and more public records, they all have millions of records to search through.
You can actually perform your own criminal background check by using a website such as Public Records Pro
