Frequently Asked Questions

Can I find out if someone is divorced in Missouri?
Yes. Search the Circuit Court case index for the person's name in the county where they lived. Most Missouri counties offer free online case-search portals. The state vital records office also issues divorce verifications for a fee.
Can my employer see a sealed record in Missouri?
Generally, most private employers running a standard name-based check cannot see a sealed Missouri record. However, government employers, law enforcement, schools, healthcare facilities, and any role requiring a fingerprint-based check can see sealed records under specific statutory exemptions. Confirm specifics with the sealing court.
What's the difference between a court record and a criminal record in Missouri?
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 Missouri State Highway Patrol – Criminal Records that aggregates arrests and dispositions across all courts in Missouri. Court records are searched by case; criminal records by person.
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.
