Not a background check. MN CRIME products are not background checks and are not a substitute for a criminal-history background check performed by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) or a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Court data may be incomplete or out of date and is not an official court record — verify anything you rely on against official court records. Not for use in determining eligibility for employment, housing, credit or insurance. Learn more.
