It's not easy getting a criminal record report free, and most of the websites advertising free criminal record reports usually provide only a free search! And then you have to pay for the info...
It is understandable why it's difficult to get a free criminal report with any degree of accuracy or reliability. A lot of labor and therefore cost goes into gathering info from countrywide sources and uploading it - usually done by private companies, who then charge for the convenience.
I require criminal record reports on a regular basis and prefer to use the private companies because they draw information from many different sources giving me a better chance of complete and accurate info .
To manually search for this would take many hours, waiting in queues, and in all likelihood still having to pay a fee anyway - plus, I would not be certain that the information was reliable.
The guys I use are Gov criminal record reports - with one of the largest databases they are very fast and the reports are accurate and complete, plus they offer a money back guarantee.
I hope that helps,
All the best and good luck with the searches.
