Identity Theft Assistance

As for criminal histories, just remember that some states allow criminal histories maintained by the state crime bureaus to be confidential because it is a compilation of different agencies' information. More and more local agencies, esp. courts, are putting docket information on the web. We get phonecalls/emails about "someone being arrested with my identification"

In Georgia, you can't get a "complete" criminal history unless you have a signed consent release from that person, unless he/she is applying for a specific type of license or employment (i.e., sex crimes and wants to work with children/elderly/mentally ill) and you have the signed consent release and/or their fingerprints.

click on Services
click on Obtaining Criminal History Information.

There is the Georgia Felony Search but if he/she is convicted for murder and the conviction isn't placed on the criminal history, the result will be "No Record".

The Ga. Dept of Corrections does maintain a website of most offenders incarcerated at some point but I wouldn't take that as an absolute.
