Cory check or CORI check: storing your criminal records for reference

The CORI, which stands for Criminal Offender Record Information, is a mass storage of all criminal history in Massachusetts. Employers can get access to these records in order to check the background of people applying for jobs in their company. They can ask for a copy of your criminal record directly from the Massachusetts Criminal History Systems Board.

One thing you must know is that irregardless of the outcome of a charge filed against you, you will definitely have a record in the CORI, as long you have been charged and arraigned in court.

Another thing that you must understand in the mass cory background corey reports is that your prospective employer won't actually see everything in the CORI as far as criminal records are concerned. They can only see cases that you were convicted of, as well as cases that are still unresolved or open.

A corey report or cori report is not your ordinary report card

A CORI report is difficult to interpret unless you have experience in legal matters. Companies who search or request for a CORI would need the help of a lawyer to interpret its contents. This also means that should you be interested in getting your own CORI report (which, by the way, is possible and legal on your part), you need to seek professional help from a lawyer who can explain it to you better.

Some hidden items in your cory report or cori report

When an employer interviews you about past criminal cases, you do not need to mention about instances where you were arrested or place in detention but never convicted of. Also, convictions that happened five years and more are not part of the CORI report.

Another item that employers won't see in your CORI report are those that have been sealed. Sealed records are those cases that have been closed, for example if you are done on parole, probation, or if you have served your prison sentence up to completion. Records can be sealed if you file for it, along with a valid reason for sealing it.
