Background Checks/Criminal History Reports
Due to the confidentiality involved in releasing criminal history information we only accept this request on a walk-in basis. To obtain criminal history information from the Gwinnett County Police Department we request that you comply with the following instructions to obtain such information:
We are unable to examine criminal history files from other states (this must be obtained from the FBI). When the applicant comes into the office, they will be issued a waiver which gives the Gwinnett County Police Department authorization to review criminal history files for the STATE OF GEORGIA ONLY. Additionally, WE DON’T DO NOT DISSEMINATE CRIMINAL HISTORY INFORMATION FOR THE U.S. CITIZENSHIP OR IMMIGRATION.
After completing the waiver, we will certify our portion after completing the history review. You will need to furnish a valid government issued ID such as a state-issued Driver’s License or ID, Passport, Military ID, or Employment Authorization/Green Card. CRIMINAL HISTORY INFORMATION CAN NOT BE OBTAINED WITHOUT A SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER. The cost of the Criminal History is $20.00.
