FAQ
Q: Are all courts in the county included in a county criminal search?
Q: What type of records can I expect in a county criminal search?
Did you know
Per reporting from the Federal Bureau of Investigations, nearly 1 in 3 adults in the United States has some kind of criminal record. However, this does not mean everyone who has a criminal record is not the right fit for your organization. Many of the records considered in this statistic are arrest only, juvenile, or other records which should not be used in a hiring decision per legal guidance. Info Cubic always provides best practice recommendations to our clients and ensures only criminal records that can be taken into consideration in a hiring decision are reported. Also, a candidate with a conviction should not be automatically disqualified simply for that fact. The EEOC and other agencies advise that a criminal record should be directly related to the responsibilities of the position to be taken into consideration, including felony records. Info Cubic can work with you to implement an adjudication matrix to help you more easily identify those convictions of concern to your organization.
Recommended for
Any risk adverse organization regardless of size or industry. Since most criminal court cases originate at the county level, county criminal searches provide the most up-to-date and accurate criminal records. Therefore, we highly recommend this search as a core element for any of our clients seeking criminal records.
Sources
A county criminal records search obtains information, including felony and misdemeanor conviction records, from the upper and lower courts in the specified county.

FAQ
Q: Which is the better search for obtaining criminal record information: counties or statewide searches?
A: Generally, county criminal searches are the most informative. While there are some states that have more inclusive and detailed statewide record repositories, most county level searches are more reliable than their statewide counterparts. They tend to include more accurate and up to date information from more courts in the county. To obtain guidance on county versus statewide recommendations in specific states, please reach out to us.
Q: Are all courts in the county included in a county criminal search?
A: Not always. Some counties have multiple lower level courts (such as Ohio counties with their vast number of smaller, Municipal courts), and not all courts are included in each county search. Info Cubic strives to provide the most complete information possible, however, in situations where courts records aren’t centrally located, it’s common to only retrieve the upper court records which will contain the most serious convictions.
Q: What type of records can I expect in a county criminal search?
A: Depending on the location, you will generally receive records back for Felony and Misdemeanor charges; however, some jurisdictions will return “Unknown” or “Unclassified” (or “Indictable” and “Non-Indictable” in New Jersey) charge types of a criminal nature.
Q: How far back is the record information that you report?
A: County criminal records are provided at least for the past 7 years; however, may go back further depending on the laws for that particular state. If a county search with a 10 years scope is ordered, Info Cubic will provide at least 10 years of criminal record information whenever possible (where the state does not limit reporting of conviction information to 7 years).
Q: Are criminal searches conducted searching by the social security number?
A: No. Criminal searches are conducted using the name and date of birth. While the SSN may be used as an additional identifier or run through our Social Security Number Trace to find additional addresses and names associated with the candidate, criminal records are always recorded by name and date of birth. As criminal searches are public record, courts do not generally use the SSN to file the information.
