  • Where can I find in Oklahoma, if arrest records show up in background checks, when the offender was not finger printed?
    When I asked others "Do arrest records show up in background checks when the offender was not finger printed?", I hear several different answers. Even when I'm asking several people at the same time, I still get each with their own version of what will happen and why. Going online and looking up the answer took some searching, but after a few pages here and there. The state of Oklahoma's bureau of investigation provides the public with background checks. Although these are named background checks, it is a criminal history search, you will not get other types of records such as divorces, lawsuits, driving records and anything not criminal. You can obtain felonies and serious misdemeanors. In the Q&A section of this site, you will see where it mentions that arrests which were not reported, or when fingerprints were not taken during the arrest or the fingerprint is not clear (of poor quality), the record may not appear. This search is conducted by and its guidelines are from Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) which is the state repository for all criminal history information. The requests can be faxed, mailed or submitted in person. There is an online service for criminal records, however, it is for high volume of fifty requests or more per month. This is not to say that it is the only means to obtaining criminal records, only through this method. There may be easier ways to obtain basically the same results. This does not cover any records outside the state. The FBI offers a national search with their own guidelines and set of services. They also conduct firearm purchase background checks.
