Frequently Asked Questions

Does an arrest show up on a background check before conviction in Missouri?
Yes — in Missouri, 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.
How long does an arrest stay on my record in Missouri if I wasn't convicted?
In Missouri, an arrest stays on your record indefinitely unless you petition the court to seal or expunge it, even if charges were dropped or you were found not guilty. Missouri's rules for clearing non-conviction records are stricter than for convictions — start with the Missouri State Highway Patrol – Criminal Records.
How do I get a marriage certificate in Missouri?
Marriage certificates in Missouri are typically issued by the County Clerk where the marriage was recorded. Older records may be held by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services – Bureau of Vital Records. A fee and valid ID are required for certified copies.
What's the difference between a bench warrant and an arrest warrant in Missouri?
An arrest warrant is issued by a judge based on probable cause that a crime was committed. A bench warrant is issued when someone fails to appear in court or violates a court order. Both authorize police to take you into custody in Missouri — bench warrants are far more common in traffic and minor cases.
