How long after conviction does it take for the offense to appear on your criminal record?

Answer 1

2-6 months

Answer 2

People do not understand that "your record" is not one single place or piece of paper. "Your record" can include many different collections of paper, records in computer databases and other collections of information.

As soon as one is convicted, the case file for that particular case is going to have the documents showing the plea of guilty or jury verdict of conviction filed within that case within 24 hours. The local court files is one place "your record" is kept. In my state of Oklahoma, these records are not only kept in the paper file, but will show up on the court's database than anyone can look up on the Internet.

In Oklahoma--and I am sure it is similar in most states--the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation compiles a record of all convictions within the State of Oklahoma. But these records will not contain convictions from other states.

III or Interstate Identification Index, is a national criminal record database that is cooperative database kept by the federal government and the states.

NCIC is another database that is maintained by the FBI.

There are also numerous private criminal records databases. These are too numerous to even begin to name.

Answer 3

Once your placed into the system and have been convicted it is almost immediate. It only takes a few strokes of the computer keys to log it into the system, so it is placed into your record quite fast.

Answer 4

I'd say pretty quickly, considering mostly fingerprinting is scanned and computerized now. Could be in the system early.

Answer 5

Where I live, it only takes 24 hours. It just depends.

Answer 6

I honestly don't know, but I bet it is not long!
