Public reports in the state of Virginia are the responsibility of the Virginia Department of Health. Through its vital records division, people can avail of Virginia public records like birth certificates, death reports, marriage licenses, and divorce decrees. Criminal history accounts in the state are accessible at the Virginia State Police through its Central Criminal Records Exchange or CCRE division, which acts as the state's main repository for all of its criminal profiles. Access to these types of documents will require due processing and varying fees.

The Vital Records Division maintains birth and death reports spanning 43 years, from January of 1853 to December of 1896. Records filed from June 14th 1912 onwards are available in this office as well. People needing access to birth and death reports outside the years mentioned above can visit the office of the local registrar of vital records in the county where the event has taken place. You will be charged $12 in personal check or money order for each certified copy, payable to the State Health Department.

Moreover, the Vital Records Division also has marriage certificates that go back to January of 1853, but the earliest divorce record they have available can only be traced back to January of 1918. For the years preceding 1853 and 1918 respectively, the Clerk of Court in the county where the marriage license was issued or the divorce was granted is probably the office that you should call or visit, since most decades-old documents are normally housed in these county offices. The same $12 fee will be charged to the requester for each certified copy of a marriage license or divorce decree.

When it comes to criminal histories and arrest reports, the general public can access these through a name-based search using the online criminal record search system known as the Non-Criminal Justice Interface, which is being managed and maintained by the Virginia Central Criminal Records Exchange division. This efficient online tool allows certified employment agencies and other approved establishments and entities easy and convenient access to the state's criminal database. A $15 fee per name will be charged to the user. Personal record requests for review purposes are accepted through mail or in person, as well as fingerprint searches costing $13 per search.

Well established online record providers make for good sources of information as well. Many self-sufficient data search websites nowadays have a rather extensive collection of public data, hugely beneficial to anyone performing background checks or engaging in genealogy. Record search websites will typically charge a reasonable one-time in exchange for unlimited access to the service's all-inclusive database. There is no validation period needed, and the registration process only takes a minute or two. Search results are comprehensive and up-to-date, no glitches or delays.

Public documents collected by every state from A to Z are accessible through any of the reputable data search websites online. If you are an employer who frequently conducts background checks, or an ordinary citizen who just wishes to obtain public records access, a good online record search service is all that you will need to efficiently gather the information you seek.
