How to run a background check in Vermont

Criminal history: statewide criminal history checks come from the Vermont Crime Information Center.

Court records: case files stay with the clerk of the court that heard the case; start with the Vermont Judiciary.

Vital records: certified birth and death certificates come from the Vermont Department of Health, Vital Records Office.

Licenses, businesses and property: the Vermont Secretary of State keeps business 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.
