Maybe its easier to forge a document. Do some research on the Interenet, what does you employer expect ?

Your criminal convictions are a matter of public record and usually can be obtained at your states bureau of criminal apprehension.  There are also websites which provide an accurate accounting of criminal history. I've provided a link for one I have used in the past. Hope this helps you.

Start at your local Worksource or Unemployment agency.  They will be able to answer your questions and allow the person to move on with their lives.  Frequently there are agencies that will post a bond to the employee, in the case of a store or something along those lines.\n\nUsually, Fast Food (I know it is crappy work), Construction companies, and a lot of places don't check your background.  Good Luck

lady -- if you don't know your own background, how are we going to know it?\nBelow is a link to some agencies that provide background checks.  Some of them may be able to pull your history.

I would think so if you had to spend jail time--and a future employer wants to know your criminal background. I know it applies in New York.

Just call the local police station and say you want a criminal records check done on someone. It's puplic knowledge if they have.

Fr. Chuck's right again.  You weren't convicted of anything, so you are correct in checking "no" on your application.  The term "background check" covers a lot of territory, and what's actually uncovered in a background check depends a lot on who's doing the checking.  With a bank, I wouldn't worry a whole lot about it.  Keep in mind that in most states, if you aren't hired, you have a right to ask why.  It might be worth the peace of mind in asking, just so you'd know if potential employers are somehow finding out about your past mistake.  Good luck to you.

Yes, this will show up on a background check.  Any court activity (positive or negative) recorded could show up on a background check.  You can use several online tools to do a background check on yourself or a private security firm.  Depending on the job you are interviewing for it could affect it.  Security type jobs frequently will deny hiring people with pending arrest warrants.  Also, for higher paying jobs, showing that you have a judgement for back support and an arrest warrant shows a lack of responsibility on your part (not passing judgement here).  I am just giving an HR perspective to the information you have provided.\n\nGet the situation cleared up and record cleared.  If not, you might mention the situation in the interviewing process.  If not, it might seem you are trying to hide something.\n\nGood luck.

If you are looking for a "no record found" status, Also make sure they clear your FBI file number or state file number,if you want it completely gone, if it can be done. I know in the state I'm in when we use to do background checks if you where ever convicted of any crime you would have a FBI file number or state file number even though the charge didn't show up. Then the said person would have to prove to the employer why said FBI file Number or state number was showing. That is for adult arrestable offense's only where they actually process and fingerprint you in a jail, no traffic or juvenile stuff.\n\nMost definitely see a lawyer about it.

Most criminal history checks reveal every ARREST - not just convictions.  Even if you are arrested for murder and then acquitted, or released because the police realized that you were the wrong person  - that arrest will ALWAYS be on your record.  So your record will reflect any and all arrests, whether misdemeanor or felony.  In most states, you can apply for a copy of your Automated Criminal History at your local law enforcement agency.  There is a fee and you must supply photo ID, but it's a good way to check to see what exactly is on your record.  Should you find any discrepancies, you can petition for their removal, and the local police department should be able to steer you in the right direction.

I wouldn't know much more than the obvious.  First, check with the corporation and confirm that he was employed by them, the dates and his position or title.  They are allowed to give that out to perspective new employers.  The university in Switzerland may be somewhat restricted as to how they release information, but again, if he is seeking employment with you, they should be able to verify his degree.  If these circumstances are different, then I'd say that you could probably check his criminal history in the US with an independant source that does background checks for hire.  Many of those are only a few mouse clicks away and charge areasonable rate for a light to moderate background check.  Look for a firm with references that they are willing to give out and let you contact.

The school will do a criminal background check on you.  All you have to do is be %100 honest on your application-- I'm pretty sure they will find something if it is there.
