  • Is there a way of finding info about someone convicted in Ohio without them finding out about me?
    If you begin to search, within many of the records out there can be accessed online, you will notice that public records are accessible by anyone without notice to the person in the record. Criminal records which can be found with an online search in many cases, are routinely conducted by the public. Private companies (which have the same public records access as the average person) that conduct background checks, will specify that the person searched is not contacted or notified. Someone can check your records also and you would never know unless it's an employer or other exceptions. But, by general rule, anyone can request your court records and you wouldn't know it and court records are public. Note that public does not necessarily mean they're open and free to everyone. You may have to pay some fees for convenience, or a courthouse visit and copy fees.

  • Where can I find in Ohio, if someone is married?
    The first inclination is to look for publications or other ways to look up marriages. However, the standard approach doesn't always work nor can be reliable to provide information. Public records uncover information from sources you wouldn't expect when you look around. In this instance, an un-orthodox way of looking up spouses is with property/real estate records that are readily available online. It is true that spouses don't always show on recorded real estate documents, but, in many instances they do, and they can also be free to look up. If it an important matter, it may be worth paying the small fee to the county recorder in Ohio. If the property is in Ashtabula, Summit, Franklin and others, the records are free to the public with a query online.

  • Where can I obtain someone's employment history in Ohio?
    Background check is a loose term that generally consists of a person's criminal history, maybe even some DUI's and arrests which ended up in a conviction. Services which check for past places of work are pre-employment screening services and firms. Employment screening is different from the typical background check, although they tend to get mixed up in confusion. Background screeners are found in various fields, expertise or specialty, some are for tenants, nannies while others can check past employment or even education. Some of the companies offering employment screening offer many other services, so the search you are looking for may not be featured or immediately found. Look through the entire site as some of the best services do not advertise the specific verification, check or type of search you need.

  • Where can I find in Ohio, access to a record of an arrest for a family member?
    If you already know which police or sheriffs department made the arrest, an arrest report can be requested directly from them. The department's website will most likely have information and in some cases even the forms online to requesting them. If the arrest is recent, the department may have a custody or booking list, that depends on the agency and the services offered to the public. Larger entities are more likely to offer public searches online. Another place to check that only requires time is by looking up local newswires to see if there's a page of recent arrests. If the arrest resulted in a conviction and time being served, the department of corrections for that particular state will have an inmate databank open to the public. The information that can be viewed online relies on various factors such as the entities budget, how often they have to provide the services and so forth. Criminal court records can also be checked, including upcoming cases on calendar.
