Checking Florida Arrest Records Online

By Claire Dowell


Quality assurance is a long-standing concept existing in most companies and work institutions. There are many procedures that are undergone just to ensure it. One of the measures resorted is to closely examine a candidate for employment's history to ensure that any form of liabilities can be avoided and averted. Candidates are typically required to present copies of their criminal or arrest records in order to fulfill this demand.

Arrest records are beneficial for the above procedures because they contain the complete coverage of a person's past encounters with Law Enforcement. A full compilation includes charges for misdemeanors to serious felonies. Positions such as public offices and volunteer care, as well as the issuance of government-issued documents such as professional licenses also utilize criminal records for background checking.

Various approaches are adapted in each state with regards to the updating, maintenance and public access to documents such as criminal records. In the State of Florida, the agency tapped to perform such tasks is the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Division of Criminal Justice Information Services. The said department is a centralized repository for all Florida arrest records.

There are two means as to how one can procure a copy of a person's criminal records. The first method involves the sending of a Criminal History Information Request Form via mail to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. These are available for download from the department's official website. The request must contain essential details such as the person's full name, aliases, the date of birth, age, race sex, and if available, the current residential address and Social Security Number. Once completed, the following requirements must be sent to office of the Department of Law Enforcement, together with the imposed payment of $24.00 that must come in the form of a check or money order payable. Roughly five business days is the estimated turnaround time per request, not including the postal delivery time.

Another approach towards acquiring a copy of Florida arrest records is to search for them online, using the application found on the website of the said state department. The search is done by entering the same information about a person described earlier. The application will give you multiple matching results, and it is up to you to decide which information belongs to the person you are researching about. Furthermore, there is a possibility the no results will be found in this search. You can immediately print out the results or have it sent to you via e-mail. A fee of $24.00 per record searched will be charged from your credit card. One should be cognizant that certified copies of criminal records, sealed information, expunged records and juvenile criminal history records are not available in this search function.

If the record you are looking for is not found, the Criminal History Information Request Form will be returned to you and is marked with the official statement, "FDLE found NO Florida criminal history based on the information provided. No criminal record check was conducted for other states or for the FBI."

The constant pursuit of convenience has been an important influence in the creation of online databases for public records, like the ones described above. Solutions like these are time-, effort-, and money-saving activities, because you can access a wide range of results and obtain them at the soonest possible time, right in the comfort of your own home.
