Criminal records are widely requested by people who perform background checks on other people because of the valuable pieces of information it contains such as the name of a criminal, nature of the crime, and date and place where it was committed, amongst others.

Requesting your own records is allowed. And if you find any piece of information that you think is inaccurate, you can ask the custodian of your records to have it looked at and corrected accordingly. If you want to request the records of other people, you have to have the consent of the records' custodian. The extent of access that will be given to you will depend on who you are and what you want the records for.
