There is a way you can perform a criminal background check free. You will need to keep the person's name or phone number handy. Use the search engines, such as Google, Yahoo or MSN and enter the person's name using quotes and search. Once you get the results, you will have to go through each and every listing and see if there are any police records or any arrests. This way, you will have to check all the listings.
If you do not find anything, then try entering the name in various formats and do the same with the telephone number. By now you would have understood that this method is time consuming and the information that you get by using the search engines may be outdated and not accurate. But this is the only way of performing a background check free.
If you really do not wish to spend all the time and effort on performing a background check free using the search engines, there are several reputable paid sites with huge databases, that you can join and get the most accurate background information. Although, the genuine sites will not let you perform a background check free, the fee they charge is very small and it is worth for the huge amount of background information they provide.
