Criminal History Record Check

A criminal history record check is a search of a person’s criminal history by name or fingerprints. The Hawaii Criminal Justice Data Center issues criminal history record checks, sometimes referred to as a “Police Clearance” or “Police Abstract” for the State of Hawaii. This will only include adult criminal conviction information. Arrest records which have resulted in convictions (found guilty) are considered public record and are available at Public Access sites throughout the state and at the Adult Criminal Conviction Information (eCrim) Web Site. Arrest records which have resulted in non-convictions or are still pending, are considered confidential and not available to the general public.
