In due diligence research conducted on an individual, criminal records check is part of the procedure. And with today's digitized Information Age, this part of the research process is made more convenient.
There are tons of online criminal records databases maintained by several websites. These online criminal records resources are listed below. Many of these online databases provide records of convictions only so you have to be aware of that. Another thing, there is no such thing as a national criminal database available to the general public. The only closest thing to it is the FBI database and the records stored there aren't considered as "open" or public records.

The US Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has an online criminal records database and a denied persons list. The list is maintained in order "to prevent the illegal export of dual-use items before they occur; [and to] investigate and assist in the prosecution of violators of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the Fastener Quality Act (FQA). Though the list is not official, the information it contains is still helpful for those who wish to avoid dealing with unauthorized persons.
BOP.gov - Federal Bureau of Prisons, U.S. Department of Justice
The Federal Bureau of Prisons is responsible for the custody and care of sentenced Federal inmates and as such, this agency has a significant amount of criminal records stored in its databases.

Aside from online criminal records, the database also contains information about federal inmates currently incarcerated or released since 1982.The Inmate Locator tool on the website allows you to locate a federal inmate incarcerated from 1982 to present.
PMDTC.org - Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, U.S. Department of State
The Directorate of Defense Trade Controls keeps an online criminal records database listing parties debarred for arms export control act convictions. Persons, entities, or individuals who have been convicted of violating or conspiracy to violate the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) appear on the DTC's online criminal records database. As consequence of their conviction, these same persons are subject to "statutory debarment" as stated in section 38(g)(4) of the AECA and section 127.7 of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).
Pacer.USPCI.UScourts.gov - U.S. Party/Case Index
PACER is one of the best online criminal records databases you can find on the Internet. Although the search does not come for free, the charge is generally nominal and the information you get more than makes up for it. PACER keeps on online criminal records index of federal filings in federal district, bankruptcy, and appellate courts.
