Courthouses can provide you with criminal and arrest records for free. Before actually going to your local courthouse, try browsing the Internet for absolutely free background check services and try looking for basic information such as name and social security number to aid you in your criminal record search. You can pass a request letter to the registrar's office although results are not acquired immediately.
