Questions about an official Santa Clara County criminal record must go to its government custodian. Use the routes below to match court files, statewide histories, police reports, and Sheriff records with the office able to search or release them.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private resource cannot retrieve an official file, conduct an authorized check, correct a history, or receive an expungement filing. Contact the responsible agency for those services.

Route an Official Request

Send each common Santa Clara County request to its record holder:

  • Court case files: see criminal court case records, or contact the clerk of the court that heard the case
  • Criminal records and rap sheets: contact the California Department of Justice
  • Arrest, booking, and jail records: contact the Santa Clara County sheriff's records unit
  • Official background checks: order through the California Department of Justice
  • Police reports and incident records: contact the agency that wrote the report
  • Expungement and record sealing: file with the court that heard the case

For records held at the county level, the primary counter is the sheriff's records unit: Sheriff's Records Division, 55 W. Younger Avenue, San Jose, CA 95110, (408) 808-4705.
