Georgia Public Criminal Records

By Ben Kingsley


Criminal records Georgia issues to its residents are coming from different law enforcing agencies of the state. These can be the police department, highway patrol or the sheriff's office. A criminal record is generated when a resident of Georgia is reported to have committed crimes against the laws of the state and the country.

One of the common reasons why people request for such document is to conduct a background check. Employers have been reported to regularly request for this type of document. They check it to make sure that the people who work for them have good intentions, thus avoiding problems among its people. This can help the company in the long run. The residents of Georgia themselves request for this document to make sure that they are with people that can be trusted. This can also prevent problems within their neighborhood. Authorities also use this document as their reference when they are conducting criminal investigations.

Though, in most cases, access to criminal records is beneficial, it can also be quite a challenge for the involved individual. Since employers prefer those who have clean history, individuals who have a previous criminal record experience difficulties in landing a job. Many have also claimed that they felt unequally treated by their colleagues and their bosses. With the new code of labor, unequal treatment to these individuals can be dealt with according to the law. People who had previous records can opt to expunge their files which mean to seal it from the public making the file look clean.

One can find details about the violations and offenses that an individual has committed on the criminal records issued in the state of Georgia. The date and the place where the crime or incident was reported can also be obtained from it. One can find information about how the person looks like. If the reported individual has any significant body markings, it would also be shown on the file.

Compared to requesting for a copy of a birth certificate, getting criminal records in the state of Georgia can be a hassle especially if one has no idea on what to do. To start with, the criminal records are only released to the person himself and his immediate family. Those seeking the files of other people need to secure a court order to proceed. All of the criminal records of Georgia are archived at the Crime Information Center of the Bureau of Investigations. Another thing to note is that, a name search can be done for only $20.75. A fingerprint search is only allowed for enforcing agencies and business owners. The retrieval can take at least an hour if there are no problems during the search. It can take weeks if there are issues encountered when searching for the document.
