National Criminal search is a database search of available public records. Please note that not every jurisdiction in the country makes records available, are not aways updated timely and may contain incomplete, non-FCRA compliant data.

County searches entail records inspection with the courthouse in a given jurisdiction. This is the most accurate method of search given it is real-time, full-file, and available in every county in the United States.
