Why order a Federal Criminal?
Federal criminal searches are conducted using records maintained by the Administrative Office of U.S. Courts. These searches encompass all 94 federal district courts, which process a range of criminal offenses, including white-collar crimes and federal-level violations.
White-collar crimes typically involve financial deception and may include offenses such as mail fraud, embezzlement, forgery, counterfeiting, and copyright infringement.
Federal criminal offenses cover serious violations such as kidnapping, crimes committed across state lines, bank robbery, drug trafficking, and crimes occurring on federal property.
Federal vs. National Criminal Reports
A common misconception is that a federal criminal report is the same as a national criminal report. While federal searches focus exclusively on crimes prosecuted in U.S. federal courts, national criminal reports compile state-level records from across the country. For more details, please visit our National Criminal Report page.
Federal Criminal Record Investigations by Research Services
Research Services diligently searches and verifies federal criminal records for as long as they remain accessible in the relevant jurisdiction. In some cases, records may only be available for a maximum of seven or ten years, or a different period based on specific regulations. Furthermore, state laws and the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) may impose limitations on certain types of reporting.
