Does differed adjudication show up on a criminal background check?

I have NO idea what "differed adjudication" is. If you were arrested and went to court and were adjudged - it WILL appear on your criminal history record if it occurred after your 18th birthday.


Do dropped charges show up on background check?

Not only does it show up on your background. The initially charge for which you where arrested/charged stays the same just get it expunge if you can. Good Luck This person is incorrect. If you are convicted of a crime then it show up on you back ground check. But if the charges are dropped then you were never convicted of that crime and it will NOT show up on background check. Court Documents can be researched to find out what the original charge may have been, but it you are doing a background check for a job then they do NOT look for that type of information. They only want to know what you were convicted of. You get this expunged if you were convicted of a crime and it has been several years since the conviction took place.
