Federal Criminal Records are criminal cases brought by the federal government, such as bank robbery, counterfeiting and kidnapping as well as offenses that occur on federal property, are searched via the applicable federal court district.
Federal searches are conducted by districts and in conjunction with the county of residence. A federal crime is serious and may include offenses such as embezzlement, kidnapping and offenses against the United States as well as offenses that occur on federal property . A federal search is not a search of the entire country, only a federal district within a particular state. Record of these crimes can be located in the US District Courts. Each state has at least one US District Court, while others are divided into as many as four districts in separate geographical regions. Only a small percentage of criminal cases are violations of Federal law.
A Federal Criminal Records search provides criminal filings in any of the nation's 350 plus Federal District Courts. Federal Crimes do NOT appear in state or county court record searches and are searched via the applicable federal district. Information provided will include case number, charge, date of filing as well as the current status or disposition of the case. We provide a copy of the FEDERAL CASE DOCKET in PDF format with any of our Federal Criminal Searches that have Records.
