Frequently Asked Questions
Are Mississippi marriage records public?▼
Marriage records in Mississippi are generally public — anyone can verify that a marriage occurred and request a non-certified copy. Certified copies (needed for legal purposes like name changes or immigration) may be restricted to the spouses, immediate family, or those with a court order.
Does an arrest show up on a background check before conviction in Mississippi?▼
Yes — in Mississippi, 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 do I find someone's immigration court case?▼
The Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) operates an Automated Case Information system at acis.eoir.justice.gov. Search by A-Number to find the next hearing date, court location, and case status. EOIR is part of the U.S. Department of Justice and handles all federal immigration court proceedings.
Can my employer see a sealed record in Mississippi?▼
Generally, most private employers running a standard name-based check cannot see a sealed Mississippi 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.
