The Attorney General's website also contains specific contact information for assistance in obtaining open records. North Dakota was granted statehood on November 2, 1889. The state population is 672,591, making it the third least populous state in the union. Fargo is the city with the largest population, but the state capital is in Bismarck.

Q: Warrants in Williams County (ND)
by user
A:Warrants are generally issued by courts/judges and carried out by the law enforcement agency, whether sheriff or police. There may be a way to see that information if either the law enforcement or courts have a website with public access.

Q: Are bankruptcies part of a background check?
by nena
A:Not generally. Background checks can mean looking up just criminal records all the way to having an investigator looking at everything they can. If you're solely looking for bankruptcy records, you can simply go directly to the source from the courts. If you have the name or case number, a search for the case file can be conducted. You can start by looking to see in which venue the case would be filed, then, you can access the court house in person and request to view the file. Each of these venues have a website where you can see how to start your search and where to look

Q: Are the differences between a background and criminal check the same in North Dakota?
by Nancy
A:The difference between a criminal and a background check is based on the interpretation of what is contain in them, regardless whether in North Dakota or any other state. However, the state's attorney general's office outlines in their own words the differences between the two here http://www.ag.nd.gov/BCI/CHR/BckGrdvCHRC.html In most instances the background check includes more than criminal records, they can also include court cases of divorces, bankruptcies, marriage licenses, list of property ownership and more. The attorney general's office describes the criminal check to be a more effective search of identifying the subject with the date of birth, fingerprints, the SSN and more to cross reference against the his or her name using law enforcement databases. There are various types of checks such as criminal record check for public schools for example.

Q: What is the Address and phone number for Abercrombie Municipal Court?
by Joyce

Q: Public records for Jesse Powers?
by beckage
A:The best approach is to try and narrow the type of record you are looking for. Many say 'all of them', the answer is they're not all available, so try to be specific. for example if you're looking for criminal records you can see about requesting a North Dakota criminal history record checks from the state's attorney general http://www.ag.nd.gov/BCI/CHR/index.html. Divorces and other legal actions, judgments, civil suits and others are kept at the proper courts. Birth, death and marriages are with the ND department of health. Your search will take you to different agencies for various records.
