The information found on a criminal background check document will generally include the person's full name, their date of birth, any criminal convictions that they may have incurred in their past, and any other names that they may have used in their dealings with other people.  A full criminal background check report may also include information about the person's residential history, their employment history, or their financial history, depending on which background check company the information is obtained from.
