How to do a free background check on your own
Three things have happened in the past five years that make it easy for you to conduct your own background checks: One is the computerization of public records. Almost all  major counties in the United States have their public records in some form of computer format. In a lot of cases, you can get the information you need just by placing a phone call to the country clerk; he or she can then do a computerized search.

Internet posting of public records is the second. And many counties now have websites on which they've posted some or all of their computerized public records. All you need is the correct website.
