CourtRec.com: Public court record searches in the United States

CourtRec.com is an online service that allows you to search public court records by name across all 50 states. The platform generates reports that gather data from multiple public and private sources and presents it in a unified format for review. The company states that it is not a government agency or a consumer reporting agency, and that it does not provide consumer reports or official documents.

What you can find in the reports

According to the company's own information, the public court record reports offered by the service may include the following types of data:

• Courthouse records and associated charges.
• Criminal driving infractions, such as speeding and reckless driving.
• District court cases and criminal charge outcomes.
• Information on assault and potential violence.
• Municipal court cases, including misdemeanors and traffic violations.
• Past criminal activity.
• Felonies and misdemeanors, with an indication of their severity.
• Available property records.
• Drug-related charges.

Coverage and data sources

The company states that court records are available in all states, although some local jurisdictions may have limited data. To build its reports, CourtRec.com purchases data from industry-leading providers and aggregators through long-term contracts, and then processes that information by standardizing formats, removing duplicates, and connecting related records. The result is presented in clear, easy-to-read reports.

Turnaround times and assistance

According to the information published, record retrieval takes a few minutes and the report is made available online. The company has records specialists who provide assistance 24 hours a day, every day, through its support channels. The typical email response time is 2 to 3 hours, and live chat is also offered for immediate assistance.

Usage limitations and liability

CourtRec.com warns that the service and the information it provides may not be used to make decisions about consumer credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or any other purpose that would require compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The company is not a credit reporting agency and is not covered by that law. It also notes that a criminal record search does not guarantee that the person searched has a criminal history or that the report will include one, and that, due to possible errors in data sources, some records may be inaccurate or out of date.

Privacy and data removal

The platform offers individuals who appear in the records the ability to request their removal and deletion from search results. There is a specific portal to remove listings by name and location, by phone number, or by address. Access, correction, and deletion rights can also be exercised, and account holders can close their account. To comply with Daniel's Law, covered individuals can request exclusion by sending an email with the required information. In addition, there is an option to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes.
