Criminal court records can be accessed online, primarily through the
PACER system for federal cases, or via state/county court websites for local cases. Most records are public, though some may be sealed, redacted, or restricted due to privacy rules (e.g., juvenile records). In-person access is available at local courthouse terminals, which may provide more complete data.
Accessing Federal Criminal Records
PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records): The primary, centralized system for federal appellate, district, and bankruptcy court records.
Requirements: Users must register for a PACER account to view dockets and document copies.
Costs: Fees are generally 10 cents per page, with a maximum of $3 per document. Fees are waived if the user accrues $30 or less in a quarter.
Accessing State and County Criminal Records
Online Portals: Many county courts offer online case search portals (e.g., this California example, this Ohio example, this Virginia example, this Minnesota example).
Information Needed: Searches usually require a case number, party name, or citation number.
State Repositories: Some states, like Colorado, offer centralized, fee-based criminal history checks through state bureau websites, such as the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.
In-Person Access
Clerk’s Office: If a record is not available online, it can be viewed at the clerk’s office of the court where the case was heard.
Terminals: Courthouses often have public access terminals for searching records.
Costs: While viewing is usually free, in-person copies may require fees.
Limitations
Sealed/Redacted Records: Records related to ongoing investigations, sensitive information, or juveniles are often sealed or redacted.
Older Records: Older, paper-based records may require a visit to the court to view or request copies.
