Background Check

A Clearance Letter/Background/Criminal Background Check is requested when an individual needs a local background check for citizenship, employment, become a volunteer etc.

A review for criminal history only pertains to the Los Fresnos Police Department local records. It is important to note that you may have a criminal history in other jurisdictions. Therefore, we highly recommend further inquires with relevant law enforcement agencies as needed

This request MUST be done using the REQUEST FOR LOCAL ARREST RECORDS CHECK/CLEARANCE LETTER form and provide a color copy of a valid ID (State DL, or ID, Consulate Card, Visa, Passport)

The form MUST be completed by the subject of the search.

If the person requesting the search is different than the subject, they must complete the notarized section on the bottom of the form.

NOTE: Background investigators DO NOT need to complete the clearance letter form; only need to submit an Authorization to Release form from the subject.

Submit request in person or by mail:
Attention: Records
Los Fresnos City Hall
520 E Ocean Blvd.
Los Fresnos, TX 78566

or via email to City Secretary, Jacqueline Moya at jmoya@citylf.us.
