The Alabama Criminal History and Your Own Copy
Alabama does not let the public search another person's statewide criminal history.

To see your own record, the route is a fingerprint-based request to ALEA. The state page SearchSystems verified for it is at alea.gov/sbi/criminal-justice-services/criminal-records.
