Yes, the two in effect are the same. You could check your record of convictions with the local criminal court in the area where you live. You could also direct a Freedom of Information Act request (F.O.I.A.)to the FBI for a release of all
records that they may have on you(which, assuming that you have no federal convictions, would be a simply a compilation of your state offense convictions.)
