I don't think you can get those for free. if you want to do a background check, you need to hire someone to do it. the only free way would be if you know someone who does background checks and you can ask for a favor.

I don't think there are any that do it for free, but www.zabasearch.com can get you more information than you might expect(for free) and even more than that it you pay.

Many states have public records available either online or by written request. A lot of the information is FREE!  \n\nFirst, check your County government website for public records.  Here you may find information pertaining to mortgages, divorces, criminal or legal filings. \n\nSecond, check out your state's Department of Corrections, Department of Law Enforcement and Sexual Predators listing.  You can sometimes find listings and photographs listed in a database.  \n\nMost time you can search by name and location but each state has different laws pertaining to what is considered a public document.  Like I said, some information is free but some will cost a little bit.  What's the price you are willing to put on your peace of mind?   \n\nPersonally, I'd research the governmental records myself rather than paying someone else to look up the same information from the same databases.  \n\nGood Luck!

I would just buy or use an internet program for background checks.  I do not exactly know how else you could do it.

you can do a background search on the internet for $20. Just type "background searches" in your search box. You can pretty much find out anything about anyone on the interner these days.

Most states have a government website that gives you a list of all the people who have been areested in that state. Try going to www.(your state's initials).gov You'll probably find a link there. Or, use dogpile to get a basic background on a person. If there is a warrant or any other charges against a person, Google will normally find it. Type something like, "Bubba Joe" and "Corrections". That should get a listing for that person if they have any charges. Finally, you can go to your local Police Station, they can help you out with anyone from your state for a small $5 fee ($5-$10 depending on the state.)

there are no free ones. you can find one for a fee of 20--30 dollars. if you really want to know you would have to file for records yourself at the courthouse or have them requested on your behalf.

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.

I don't know what state you live in, but in NC there is a website that allows you to check anyone's NC criminal record for a fee.

if they're in prison, go to the department of corrections site for that state...or county jail whatever the case may be.  It will tell you what they're incarcerated for and any related priors.  For a full background check, normally you have to pay $$ for it.

Each state has a Public Record access site. just type in pulic court records on the internet and it will give you many sites.  The state access sites are general free, as long as you are only looking for if he has been in and out of court.  Criminal background checks usually cost money, unless you want to go to your local police department. Things you will need are , that persons Name, date of birth and social security number if you can get it.  Things that help : last place of residency, phone number, driver license number. The police department only charges 3-5 dollars or just copie cost, so much per sheet. If you live in Wisconsi follow the site below.  Its self explanitory.  Hope I helped.

I'm afraid you won't find a website where you can do that for free.  You can pay for a "background check" that will give you some information about the person.  Marriage records are not available online for every state of the U.S., only for certain states.  You can write to the County Clerk of the county where the person lives.\nHere's a website where you can order a background check:\nhttp://www.criminalscreen.com/\nGood luck!

There are NO FREE government background checks. \n\nYou can pay anywhere between $25 - $350 for a background check.\n\nIf you really want to know whats in your background, go to your local police or FBI office and ask them to run a check on you --- free to you, but paid for by my tax dollars!

I don't think there's a service out there that isn't free.  \n\nYour best bet to do some snooping:\n1:  Go on your local Sheriff's Office website and search for the current inmate population on parole.  He may have done time, and this will be an easy and free way to look that up.\n\n2:  If he claims he's owned a business before, ask for the corporation name.  Your state's Department of Corporations will allow you to look up corporation names.  This will indicate if the business is still active, why the corporation shut down, and what his address was on the Articles of Corporation's filing papers.\n\n3:  Your county Property Appraiser website should allow you to search by name and/or address to see a property owner's current address and property value.  This will let you see if her new boyfriend really owns his house, or if it's his grandmother's!\n\n4:  Never underestimate the power of public records.  Most states have an online public records systems that will allow you to see divorces, settlements, small claims actions, and the like.  This would be an excellent source to get the dirt on this guy.\n\nA woman's instinct is usually right...I wouldn't be surprised if you unearthed some really interesting stuff!
