Tennessee People Search: A Felony Offender Lookup That Matches Aliases, a Voter Lookup That Needs Only a Birth Month and Year, and Courts Behind a Browser Check

Written by SearchSystems.net from Tennessee's own systems: the Tennessee Department of Correction and Board of Parole, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, the Tennessee Secretary of State, the Tennessee Department of Health, the Tennessee Department of Treasury, the Office of Open Records Counsel, the Tennessee Administrative Office of the Courts, each read on October 13, 2026 by the SearchSystems editorial team.

The felony offender lookup, with aliases

The Felony Offender Information Lookup, offered by the Tennessee Department of Correction and the Board of Parole, searches by last name, first name, race, TDOC ID or state ID number, behind a case sensitive captcha with an audio alternative, and a checkbox includes aliases that match the search name. The page carries a Get Official TBI Background Check link at the top, acknowledging that the lookup is a convenience and not the record, and its disclaimer says neither the department nor the board warrants the accuracy, timeliness or completeness of what the service returns. As its name says, it covers felony offenders.

TBI background checks and the registry

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation's Background Checks page states that the bureau offers criminal background checks to the general public and to qualified organizations, each with its own scope, rules and process set out on the pages that follow; the page itself gives no fee or search terms, so those are on the public check's own page. The bureau's Sex Offender Registry answered with its title only, so its search is on the site.

The courts, behind a browser check

The Tennessee Administrative Office of the Courts' site at tncourts.gov answered SearchSystems' automated read on both of its pages with a request to wait while the browser was validated, and nothing more. The office's own description of its home page names Supreme Court decisions and rule proposals rather than a trial court case search. Tennessee case records are kept by the clerks of the county courts, and the Tennessee county pages at SearchSystems list the court clerks for each county.

Verify Public Search and TNBear

The Department of Commerce and Insurance's Verify Public Search answered with its title only, so its fields are on the page; it is the department's verification for the professions and businesses it regulates. The Secretary of State's TNBear business filing search did not answer an automated read at either of its addresses, so it is named here as the official business entity search without description.

The voter lookup: county, name, birth month and year

The Secretary of State's Voter Registration Information Lookup retrieves a registration from a county, first name, last name, birth month and birth year, all required, and when read it stated that its voter registration data was current as of October 12, 2026, the day before. A registration not found is referred to the county election commission. Because the lookup asks for the month and year of birth rather than the full date, it confirms a Tennessean's registration with less than most states demand, though the county must be known first.

Vital records: births, deaths, marriages and divorces together

The Department of Health's Office of Vital Records reviews, registers, amends, issues and maintains the original certificates of births, deaths, marriages and divorces that occur in Tennessee, from its main office in downtown Nashville, with ordering terms, eligibility and fees on its site. Tennessee is a state where all four record types sit in one office.

ClaimItTN, Safe at Home and open records

The Department of Treasury's ClaimItTN offers a free search and a no fee claim in three steps, returned 78,305 claims in fiscal 2024, and explains under T.C.A. section 66-29-101 that it pays interest only on property that was interest bearing when delivered, issuing an IRS 1099 for interest, dividends or liquidation proceeds. The Secretary of State's Safe at Home program gives participants a substitute address with mail forwarded, with application assistants at partnering agencies and answers on who can apply, what the program does not do and whether it can be used to buy a home; the page itself is a menu, so the details are on its linked pages. The Comptroller's Office of Open Records Counsel answers inquiries about the Tennessee Public Records Act, publishes advisory opinions, model policies, a list of exceptions to the Act, contacts for records requests and records retention schedules, runs an Open Records Roadshow and training, and staffs the Advisory Committee on Open Government.

Tennessee: the felony lookup, the voter lookup, the TBI

Tennessee's felony lookup with aliases, its registry and its TBI checks answer the criminal question, the voter lookup confirms a county from a birth month and year, and the license verification and TNBear tie a name to a livelihood. Court records, deeds and parcels are county matters, with the county offices listed on the Tennessee county pages at SearchSystems, and the Office of Vital Records confirms the vital events.

Paid people search reports on Tennesseans draw on these records and resell TBI checks; the bureau offers them to the public directly, and the felony lookup is free.
