Using Police Provided Databases

As we mentioned in just the last paragraph, sometimes finding mugshots can be tricky business. While a lot of counties do provide databases that provide arrest record information, not every one of those counties provides mugshots. If you live in a county that does, great. All you need to do is check with your sheriff’s department website and that will conclude your search.

If not, then more than likely you’ll only be looking at a list of arrest records. That can be helpful if you’re looking for arrest records, but if not you could just end up a little frustrated. This issue is magnified if you happen to live in a county that doesn’t have any database because the cost is too prohibitive with their budget.

If you happen to live in a county with a very limited budget you could end up without any new information. If you need to check a lot of counties this search becomes even trickier because the databases aren’t connected.

Using a Personal Background Check

There are many personal background check services that exist solely to make this kind of search easier. They are connected to thousands of public records databases, so if there’s a mugshot of the person in question anywhere in the country there’s a good chance that you’ll be able to find it very quickly by using this method.

This method is also extraordinarily fast. It might sound like it would take some time to check through every single public records database that these personal background check companies have access to, but they make all of the searches simultaneously which means that you can expect to get your search results back instantly.

You can also usually expect to find arrest records, criminal records, court records, and driving records. This method is a one-stop-shop for all of your personal background check needs and can save you all the time it takes to manually look up the information in every database you need to check. Many people that regularly use this method are incredibly happy with how fast they get their search results as well as the sheer amount of information their searches yield.
