I need a background check. How do I get a copy and what do I need to bring with me?

There is only one type of background check available to you from this agency. It is a local background check only. This means, that the information provided is only generated from our computer database.  For all others, contact the municipality that generated the report within their jurisdiction.


The Florida Department of Law Enforcement maintains the criminal history list of all arrests within the State of Florida.   For a Criminal History Background check, log onto the FDLE website for information www.fdle.state.fl.us/.
