Kentucky Criminal History is a private reference resource, not a records office. Requests for official Kentucky criminal records must go to the government agency that keeps the source material. Kentucky State Police handles centralized criminal-history products, the Court of Justice and circuit court clerks maintain court records, and the Kentucky Department of Corrections provides state custody information. Local arrest, booking, police, and jail records remain with agencies across Kentucky's 120 counties.

This Is Not a Government Office. Kentucky Criminal History cannot obtain an official check, change or remove a record, issue a certified copy, or accept an expungement filing. Contact the Kentucky agency that holds the record.

Need an Official Record?

The correct Kentucky source depends on the kind of record requested:

  • Centralized criminal history and personal record review: contact the Kentucky State Police (KSP) Criminal Identification and Records Branch
  • Court case files: use the Kentucky court case lookup, then request an official copy from the circuit court clerk in the filing county
  • State inmate status: use the Kentucky Department of Corrections Kentucky Offender Online Lookup
  • Sex offender registry questions: contact the Kentucky State Police Sex Offender Registry
  • Police and incident reports: ask the law-enforcement agency that created the report
  • Expungement: file through the Kentucky court that handled the case
  • County records: find the local court, jail, or law-enforcement route in Browse Counties

For a Kentucky name-based criminal-history request or personal record review, contact the Kentucky State Police, Criminal Identification and Records Branch, Records Section. Its published criminal-history number is 502-227-8700. KSP lists a temporary Records Division location at 1050 US 127, Frankfort, KY 40601 while its Louisville Road facility is under renovation. Confirm the current location and requirements before visiting.
