How to check a person's criminal record online

Often, when hiring, the employer checks the whole ins and outs of the candidate in order to understand with whom he will have to work and whether this person poses a danger to the enterprise and its employees as a whole.

How to check a person's criminal record via the Internet, if there is no way to get access to departmental databases? What does the fact of a criminal record indicate and how to calculate whether there is one? Let's talk about all this right now.

What does conviction mean

A person convicted of a crime is recognized as convicted from the moment the court indictment enters into legal force and until the time it is canceled, i.e., the expiration of the criminal record.

There are two options for the development of events: the first is the expiration of the prescribed period, and the second is impeccable behavior, for which parole is provided.

What restrictions does

If a citizen has an open criminal record, there is a certain set of restrictions that directly depend on the degree of complexity and severity of the crime.

If a person is convicted, he may face the following problems:

  • emergency service;
  • storage and acquisition of firearms;
  • labor activity in human rights protection bodies and state structures;
  • leaving the country;
  • a chance to get education in certain universities;
  • work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and education.

How to find out a person's criminal record using the Internet

In the Russian Federation, the possibility of checking convicts through the World Wide Web has recently begun to be provided. The search for information in this case is carried out on the website for the provision of public services.

Sometimes the personnel service, when applying for a job, asks a citizen to bring a certificate of no criminal record along with a package of documents necessary for enrollment in the state of the enterprise.

You can get such a document on the official website of public services.

In addition, only employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have a complete database of such persons. To do this, contact the local police department. It should be understood that employees are not required to disclose such information to unauthorized persons, but it is still worth trying to make a formal request, indicating certain grounds.

But it also happens that before employment, individuals are checked by their own security service, using some of their specific resources. To do this, before hiring, a person is asked to provide a passport or a copy of it to obtain information about the surname and initials that are necessary for verification.

It is also possible to find out if a citizen has a criminal record on the official judicial websites of Russia that provide such a service.

Consider: if you choose third-party sites, you should understand how reliable and complete the information is there. After all, not all resources have real data about a person, and in most cases they are not always obtained legally.

How to find a criminal case by last name online

In many cities there is more than one court, so it is worth checking for each institution separately. You can do this absolutely free.

You need to open the website of the desired department and select the section "Judicial office work". The only difference between sites is that this section can be located in different parts or blocks of the site.

To clarify whether a court case has been opened against a person, you need to know his last name and initials. However, this possibility is relevant only for small towns, because the risk of meeting people with the same name and surname there is minimal, but in big cities it is too high, especially if the surname is very common.

How to find out if a conviction has been expunged

For information on whether a criminal record has been expelled, it is possible to send a request to local police departments or judicial authorities.

Only there you can look and learn more about the form of liability, find out what type of right has been violated.

It can also be similarly found out on the official websites of departments and through various third-party resources.

Conclusion

Thus, you can find out whether a person is listed in the database of individuals with a criminal record not only via the Internet, but also through police officers or the database of the judiciary.

Being under investigation and an open conviction is a stain on a person's reputation, because not all employers hire such people. Checking the presence of a criminal record through online databases is now quite relevant and it is impossible to hide this information.
