NO FCRA USE. New Jersey Criminal History is privately owned and has no connection to a local, state, or federal government agency. The website and its advertising partners do not provide services for credit, employment, tenant, or insurance decisions, or for any other purpose governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). This is a reference resource for finding New Jersey criminal-record sources, not a private-investigation service or consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
New Jersey Criminal History is a private reference site that operates independently from government. It does not store official criminal records, conduct official checks, obtain records for visitors, or submit documents on their behalf.
The content identifies record sources such as the New Jersey State Police State Bureau of Identification, New Jersey Department of Corrections, New Jersey Sex Offender Internet Registry, New Jersey Judiciary, and agencies within the state's 21 counties. Some pages also connect visitors with third-party research tools. Government access under the New Jersey Open Public Records Act, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq., remains separate from use of this private website. Dissemination of New Jersey criminal history record information is also subject to N.J.S.A. 53:1-20.6 and N.J.A.C. 13:59.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use of the website is conditioned on an agreement not to:
- Use bots, scrapers, or other automated means against the website
- Attempt unauthorized access to any account, server, or system
- Interfere with website performance or another visitor's access
- Use information to stalk, threaten, or harass a person
- Rely on site content for hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
- Violate any applicable local, New Jersey, or federal law
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information obtained here or through a linked tool may not be used to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct may also violate criminal law. This restriction is especially important for the New Jersey Sex Offender Internet Registry. New Jersey limits misuse of registry data, and conduct directed against a registrant can carry penalties. Registry information is intended for public-safety awareness, not vigilante acts, blacklisting, or discrimination.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
New Jersey Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not prepare consumer reports, credit reports, or background checks. Its advertising partners do not offer linked services for evaluating applicants, renters, insurance risk, or creditworthiness. Information from this website or a linked tool must not be used to:
- Set insurance terms or evaluate creditworthiness
- Choose whether to hire or dismiss a person
- Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
- Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
- Carry out any other FCRA-regulated decision
A check needed for a regulated purpose must come from an authorized, FCRA-compliant provider or the appropriate official process through the New Jersey State Police.
5. No Legal Advice
Website content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a New Jersey charge, conviction, warrant, or expungement law applies to an individual matter. A person who needs that analysis should consult a lawyer licensed in New Jersey.
6. No Warranties
All website content and functions are supplied "as is." New Jersey Criminal History makes no promise that:
- A partner search result will be accurate or complete
- Every page is free from bugs, errors, or security weaknesses
- The website will always be available without interruption
- Published information is complete, accurate, or current
Criminal records can change when a charge is filed, dismissed, corrected, sealed, or expunged. Delays and gaps may occur. Nothing published here is an official statement from the New Jersey Judiciary, New Jersey State Police, a county office, or another government agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may lead to New Jersey government pages, Judiciary portals, county offices, legal-aid organizations, or outside search providers. Those destinations are not controlled by New Jersey Criminal History. We are not responsible for their availability, content, prices, or privacy practices. Review each destination's terms before using it.
8. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, the website's text, code, graphics, and logos belong to New Jersey Criminal History or its content partners. Content may not be copied, changed, distributed, or used to create derivative material without prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, New Jersey Criminal History is not liable for loss or damage arising from use of the website, including reliance on information obtained here or through a linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold New Jersey Criminal History harmless from claims, demands, or proceedings caused by your use of the website or violation of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.
11. Governing Law
New Jersey law governs these terms. Any dispute tied to use of the website must be brought in a court located in New Jersey.
