In Colorado, criminal history arrest records are considered public information and are maintained by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Individuals may use the Internet Criminal History Check System (ICHCS) to perform name-based background checks at a cost of $6 per search. For the most accurate results, users may provide the subject's full name with correct spelling, date of birth, and, if available, their Social Security Number.

For a notarized copy of a Criminal History Record Information (CHRI), a request may be submitted for $13. This process requires completing both the Public Request for Criminal History Record Information form and the Credit Card Authorization form. The credit card form must include the applicant's handwritten signature. Once completed, the forms must be mailed to:
