How to run a background check in Georgia
Criminal history: statewide criminal history checks come from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
Court records: case files stay with the clerk of the court that heard the case; start with the Georgia courts.
Vital records: certified birth and death certificates come from the Georgia Department of Public Health, Vital Records.
Licenses, businesses and property: the Georgia Secretary of State keeps business entity filings, and professional licenses are checked with the board or agency that issued each one.
Employment, tenant, credit or insurance decisions: use a consumer reporting agency that follows the FCRA. PublicRecordCenter.com is a directory of official sources, not a consumer reporting agency; your rights are on the Background Check Help page.
