How to Check Criminal Records in California?

To check criminal records in California, the process varies based on who you're researching. For your own comprehensive criminal history, or "Record of Arrests and Prosecutions" (RAP sheet), you must submit fingerprints via a Live Scan service to the California Department of Justice (DOJ). This requires completing an application and paying a fee; the DOJ will mail your official statewide record directly. Accessing another individual's full criminal record as a private citizen is generally restricted by privacy laws. However, specific conviction information is public record and can be accessed at the county Superior Court where the case was adjudicated. This often involves searching court dockets with the individual's name and potentially a case number, either by visiting the clerk or using online portals. Third-party background check services compile publicly available court data but lack access to confidential DOJ RAP sheets for private inquiries. Employers and licensing bodies may conduct more extensive checks with consent for legally authorized purposes.
