Georgia Bureau of Investigation - Criminal History.. GBI describes Georgia criminal-history content.
For an online felony-conviction search, open Georgia Felon Search and follow its Search now link. Enter the first and last names, date of birth and sex, then check the criteria before paying by credit card. Each search costs $15, including a no-record result; when several possible records are returned, each record you choose to access costs $15. Results exclude misdemeanors, juvenile felony history, and sealed or expunged information. A possible name match is not confirmed identity; fingerprint comparison is needed for that.
For a broader Georgia history of another person, contact a sheriff or police department about its signed-consent procedure. A personal Georgia copy also goes through a local law-enforcement agency. For authorized employment or licensing fingerprint checks, follow the requesting organization’s GAPS instructions through the GBI guidance; do not substitute the public felony search for that process.

A background check is not one universal record
Define the purpose. Turn the broad background-check idea into concrete questions. Use that list to choose the official systems that can actually answer the questions.
Check
What to verify before treating the result as complete
- Verify the person. Resolve namesake risk with source-specific details: compare name spelling, birth date, event location, and record ID and flag any identifier that does not fit.
