City of Seattle, King County, WA Public Records

• Where can I find out if background checks from either government entities or private companies provide certified public records?
  Government entities provide certified public records such as birth, death, marriage, and, in some cases, divorce records, typically through the state health department or vital records office. For criminal background checks, the process varies by state. Generally, the state police department is the primary source for obtaining certified criminal records, often through fingerprint-based searches. Some states may issue a certification letter indicating that an individual's criminal history is clear. The specific requirements may differ depending on the purpose of the background check, such as for employment or security clearances. For certified birth certificates, you can contact your state's department of health. For more information on obtaining these records, you can visit your state's official government website or the National Association for Public Health Statistics and Information Systems at https://www.naphsis.org/.
