Frequently Asked Questions

Does an arrest show up on a background check before conviction in Michigan?
Yes — in Michigan, an arrest can appear on a name-based background check from the moment of booking, even before any court ruling. Whether it appears on an employment screening depends on the type of check (name-based vs. fingerprint-based) and how recent the arrest is.
Can I find out if someone is divorced in Michigan?
Yes. Search the Circuit Court / District Court case index for the person's name in the county where they lived. Most Michigan counties offer free online case-search portals. The state vital records office also issues divorce verifications for a fee.
What's the difference between a court record and a criminal record in Michigan?
A court record shows everything filed in a specific case — pleadings, motions, judgments. A criminal record (rap sheet) is a person-centric history from the Michigan State Police that aggregates arrests and dispositions across all courts in Michigan. Court records are searched by case; criminal records by person.
Does an active warrant show up on a background check in Michigan?
Yes. Active warrants in Michigan appear on name-based criminal background checks through the Michigan State Police system the moment they are entered. Some employers also run a separate NCIC warrant query, which catches federal warrants as well.
