Q: What’s the difference between the federal criminal history search and national criminal database search?

A: While they may sound the same, these two types of searches are distinct.

  • Federal criminal searches report information from federal district courts and contain only specific high-level, white-collar crimes and crimes that cross state lines.
  • The National Criminal Database compiles information from thousands of sources at the county, state and federal levels.
