North Carolina Criminal Records And Other Arrest Search

By Claire Dowell


An arrest report is automatically made or issued to individuals who have violated the norms of the state or the country. Residents of North Carolina can easily request for a copy of North Carolina arrest records. This type of document is made open for public access which means that the local residents have the freedom to request it anytime if they have a need for it.

Looking up criminal arrest records is one way to know about the criminal background of an individual. This is usually done during employment procedures, college admission, immigration processing, licensure purposes and many other uses. Employers prefer to hire those who have clean records to avoid problems in the workplace. Ordinary residents would look into the background of their neighbors, colleagues, friends and even relatives through the state's criminal records. Authorities and law enforcers also use this type of document when they conduct a criminal investigation.

If the arrest record of a resident of North Carolina is not expunged or sealed off, the public can easily obtain a copy of it for whatever reason they may use it. This becomes a problem to individuals who had records and wish to change their lives. Since most employers prefer to look into the criminal arrest records of an applicant, many find it difficult to land a decent job. Many have claimed that they felt treated unequally because of their past criminal history. However, the state of North Carolina protects job applicants by restricting access to employers unless it has a direct relationship to the job.

Although the North Carolina Criminal arrest records are considered as public documents, only authorized individuals and law enforcers are given access. One can also view their personal arrest files. Private individuals or any third party who wishes to view the criminal history of other people should have a valid reason and authority before they can be allowed access to the files. When one is requesting for their personal files, necessary forms and documents may need to be submitted. This would include a duly accomplished request from and identification card or birth certificate. Fees would vary depending on where the request was made.

All of the criminal records including the arrest files of North Carolina are managed by the State Bureau of Investigation. The local county court house also keeps records of crimes that have been reported locally. This means that the court house can only provide information about the crimes that took place in their jurisdiction. Mail request is also allowed and can be sent to both offices but it would not be the fastest method in getting a copy of an arrest record in the state of North Carolina.

The Internet has made the arrest records public access easier. By doing the search online, one no longer needs to go to any office. The search can be done anywhere that has Internet connection. One simply needs to log on to a website that offers such service and fill out the online form with necessary information to do the search and in just a few seconds the results of the search can be obtained. This makes the search hassle free and fast. One can even take advantage of the free search offered by some websites.
