Frequently Asked Questions

Does an active warrant show up on a background check in New Jersey?
Yes. Active warrants in New Jersey appear on name-based criminal background checks through the New Jersey State Police system the moment they are entered. Some employers also run a separate NCIC warrant query, which catches federal warrants as well.
Can my employer see a sealed record in New Jersey?
Generally, most private employers running a standard name-based check cannot see a sealed New Jersey 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.
Are Somerset County records free to search?
Yes — every link on this page goes directly to an official government source. Basic searches at the Somerville sheriff, court, and recorder websites are free. Certified copies and formal background checks carry the standard government fee.
What's the difference between sealing and expunging a record in New Jersey?
In New Jersey, a sealed record is hidden from public view but still exists and remains visible to law enforcement, licensing boards, and some employers. An expunged record is treated by New Jersey law as if it never happened — though FBI and federal records may persist regardless of state action. The relief process in New Jersey is known as "expungement" and runs through the Superior Court – Criminal Division.
