Free South Dakota Background Checks and Criminal Records

It's true that South Dakota is one of the safest states to live in, but that doesn't mean that there isn't any crime at all. In 2006, there were almost 9,000 individual crimes committed, including 218 rapes and over 500 assaults. Background checks in South Dakota are more important than ever, but who wants to do all the leg work themselves?

That's why FREE Background Checks USA is South Dakota's one stop shop for everything related to background checks and criminal record checks. We contact all the relevant state agencies for you.

If you do choose to do it yourself, you'll have to call the Division of Criminal Investigation Identification Section - SOR Unit, the Division of Criminal Investigation Identification Section, the SD Department of Corrections Central Records Office as well as the State Court Administrator. That's a lot of work that you don't have to do.
