Florida Arrest Records Free List Online

By Ben Kingsley


The criminal history of certain people or the number and type of arrests and other information for the month or so can be found in the Florida arrest records. These records contain criminal history information for the public. However, confidential information is only available for specific agencies.

The department that handles the records and requests is the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE). They also give out other records such as the expunged criminal history and records of juvenile delinquents or the juvenile criminal history. Expunged criminal history is only given to authorized agencies or individuals. For juvenile criminal records they can only be released if the offense can be considered as a felony if the juvenile was of age instead.

The arrest records have a variety of uses. It's a personal reference or document for some people. For some, they use their record as an additional document for job applications. You can obtain your record even if you haven't been arrested and use it with your job application to boost trust. Getting licenses may also require your record. Usually you need it for license to own a gun or drive. Important documents like passport and visa will always require your record to be filed with your application. A company may also do a background check of their employees at any given time. They usually do this to screen new applicants or during incident investigations. There are two types of background checks. The first one or level 1 refers to name and employment history check. Level 2 is more extensive. The records are only available for the same type of institution. If the records were used to obtain gun licenses, then it can only be used for said purpose and not for other purposes like job application.

You can easily get your own records from the Florida department of law enforcement. Just bring a valid ID and the required fees to request your records. Background checks depend on the type. Level 1 checks will just need your full name and other important details such as height, age etc. Level two background check will require fingerprints to be checked in the database.

Obtaining the records may cost you depending on what you need. A standard check of arrest records will cost a total of $24.50. Obtaining records for licenses like a gun license will cost $31.50. For other purposes that require high security checks may cost about $40.50 dollars. Rechecking or renewing the record will incur the same fees.

Police arrest records are dynamic and can change every day. This means that the record you obtained now may be obsolete by tomorrow as new arrests and other incidents may have been added. That's why online searches of the records are essential so that you won't be wasting time going to the FDLE.
